to the lower left-hand corner of the pattern block. A
message will pop up to have the user verify that the
needle is not down in the fabric before it moves
(Figure 36). The machine will then move to the
lower right-hand corner, followed by the upper righthand
corner, etc., until it has moved around the
perimeter of the pattern block and back to the start
point. If required, there is a “Stop Trace” button that
the user can press to stop the trace.

3. If the pattern needs to be re-positioned, the user
has the option of going back to the “Reposition Pattern”
screen, or using the “Nudge” tool to fine-tune
the pattern position.
4. This is a good place to use the “Follow” feature,
especially if the pattern is now very large. Using
“Follow” will help the user verify the exact placement
of the pattern. Just make sure the “Follow” button is
enabled and zoom in enough to see the details of the
pattern. Manually move the machine across the quilt
and verify that the various points within the pattern
are lining up on the quilt where they should. Make
any adjustments as needed using “Nudge” or by going
back to the “Reposition Pattern” screen.
How to Nudge
“Nudge” is used to shift a pattern vertically or horizontally
a specified amount (Figure 36).
1. Press on the “Nudge Amount” number box to
enter a value (in inches) in the pop-up number pad
(i.e., 1/8 inch is entered as 0.125, etc.).

2. Press one of the four arrows to nudge the pattern
in that direction the amount that was entered in the
“Nudge Amount” box.
3. Press on the “Exit” button to exit the “Nudge”
screen.
