Machine Quilting Tip: Getting started with Manual mode
Set the machine at a medium speed (such as 1000) and begin moving it unl you become
accustomed to the resistance. By moving the machine faster, the stches will begin to
elongate. The stch speed can either be increased or the machine can be moved slower
to get the stches at your desired length. By moving the machine slower, the stches get
shorter and can build up on top of each other, break the thread, or make it extremely
dicult to unpick. The stching speed can be decreased, while maintaining a constant
moon with the machine to bring the stches to the desired length.
Stch Regulaon
There are two stch regulaon modes: Cruise and Precision.
To use Cruise stch regulaon
 ONLINE: For informaon about using Cruise stch regulaon, watch the video Using Cruise Stch

• T o u c h t h e Regulated buon and then touch the Cruise buon.
Aer you press the Start/Pause buon on the handlebars, the machine immediately begins quilng
according to the stches-per-minute and stches-per-inch sengs. The Start stching indicator in the
upper-le corner of the screen turns green and the needle begins moving up and down. Similarly, as you
bring your quilng to a stop, the needle will connue stching at the cruise speed (stches per minute)
unl you press the stop buon on the handlebars. The minimum speed of the needle is dependent upon
the stches-per-minute seng you choose. Handi Quilter recommends beginning with a seng of 200.
Begin moving the machine to avoid stching in place for too long.
Machine Quilting Tip: When to use Cruise stitch regulation
The constant minimum stching speed featured in the Cruise stch regulaon is useful for
precise placement of stching, such as when backtracking along the tops of feathers or
when creang sharp points such as the point of a star or the boom of a heart.
