Machine Quilting Tip: Add recorded stitching to an existing design
Load a design and posion the crosshairs where you want to begin recording freehand
moon. A stching line connects the end point of the design and the posion of the
crosshairs when recording begins.
When adding to an exisng design, Pro-Stcher baselines the design and treats it as a single design when
performing other design funcons.
To mark and record straight lines
Mark is similar to Record, but instead of recording connuously as you move the machine, it records a
straight line between each marked point.
1. Move the quilng machine to the point where you want to begin a straight line and select Mark.
2. Move the machine to where you want to end the straight line and again select Mark. Connue
marking along the line, stch the line, or save it as a design for future use.
Machine Quilting Tip: Record stitch-in-the-ditch quilting lines
Move the quilng machine to the beginning of the quilt ditch and select Mark to record the
rst point of the line. Then move the machine to another point further down the ditch and
press Mark again. Connue marking points along the ditch to record straight lines between
each marked point. The marked ditch design can then be stched or saved to stch at
dierent places on the quilt.
To add jumps to your recorded design
At any point while recording or marking, insert a jump point into your design.
• Stop recording or marking, and then select Jump. Connue moving the machine, but no stch lines
will be recorded unl you once again select Record or Mark. Jump lines display as doed lines.
NOTE: Make sure the Auto Rotate funcon on the table computer is turned o. This ensures that
the screen funcons properly as you record the freehand moons.
