7. Quilt Menu
The funcons on the quilt menu enable you to quilt your designs. The Run buon is available to start the
stching from any quilt funcon.
• Aer the design has been formaed, posioned, and is ready to be stched, select Quilt and then Run.
If everything looks good, press Proceed to begin stching. Otherwise, press Cancel.
If you selected the opon to Verify Sengs before Quilng in the quilt sengs, a pop-up Verify Sengs
box appears so you can double check the sengs before stching. For more informaon about turning on
or o this opon, see To verify sengs before quilng in chapter 8, Sengs Menu.
To choose between stching or tracing the design, bounding box, or area perimeter
• Make sure the Stch buon is enabled (shown in a darker color) for the machine to stch the quilt
according to the selecons you make. To disable stching, press the darkened Stch buon. If the
Stch buon is disabled, Pro-Stcher traces the design, bounding box, or area perimeter with the
machine but does not stch. Select the Stch buon again to enable stching.
To immediately stop the machine from quilng
• If you must immediately stop the machine while quilng, press Emergency Stop. Unlike Pause,
which brings the machine to a gentle stop, the Emergency Stop buon immediately stops Pro-
Stcher. To reduce the risk of a torn quilt in case the needle is stuck, Pro-Stcher also disables the
motors.
Before you stch the design on the quilt
Before stching any design, it’s a good idea to double check the posion of the design relave to the quilt.
Machine Quilting Tip: Verify the position of the design relative to the quilt
Move the quilng machine needle to a locaon on the quilt. Select the Follow buon in the
top-right corner of the screen so the design will move as you move the machine. Look at the
screen and conrm that the crosshairs match the desired posion in the design. Do this for
a variety of places on the quilt, such as the start and end points and the highest and lowest
points in the design.
Brings the quilng
machine to an
immediate stop and
disables motors.
