Crosshairs
The intersecon of the horizontal and vercal crosshairs represent the posion of the machine’s needle. By
default, the Follow buon isn’t selected and the crosshairs move when you move the machine. This means
that the design remains staonary on the screen, but the crosshairs move.
If you select Follow, the crosshairs remain staonary in the middle of the display. As you move the
machine, the design moves rather than the crosshairs.
Machine Quilting Tip: When to use Follow
Select Follow when you want to ensure that the crosshairs remain in view when you have
zoomed a design. This saves you from having to use Pan to nd the crosshairs. It is also
helpful to enable Follow when you stch a wide design because you can both zoom in on
the design and always see what is being stched on the screen.
Pro-Stcher automacally turns o Follow aer you select a new design.
