HQ Pro-Stitcher User Manual - Handi Quilter

Start Quilting
Press the “Start Quilting” button to select or adjust
some final quilting settings prior to stitching the
pattern.
Settings
If the user decides to make some changes at the last
minute to the settings included in the “Setup” menu
(Figure 37), some of those changes can be made on
this screen by touching the number box and entering
a new value on the pop-up number pad. The values
that can be adjusted here are:
Figure 37
o Auto Jump Threshold
o Tie-Off Stitches
o Stitches Per Inch
o Machine Speed
See Step 3: Setup Menu on page 36 for more details
about the Auto Jump Threshold and Tie-Off Stitches
settings.
Pause Delay
The HQ Pro-Stitcher can be programmed to automatically
pause and allow the user the opportunity to
trim the thread. After trimming the thread, the user
then presses the “Resume” button (Figure 38). The
user may choose to pause after a number of seconds
or after a number of inches the machine has stitched.
Enter a number in the box below “Pause Delay,”
which will either be in seconds or inches depending
on whether the delay button says delay in seconds or
delay in inches. Press the button to toggle between
the two options.
Please be aware that these values are not exact due to
the fact that the system will need to finish stitching

the line segments that have been stored in the buffer
before it can stop. If your pattern is made of large
line segments then it will stitch a little longer than
it would if it was made up of smaller line segments
even though the same value may be entered in the
“Pause Delay” box. Use it as a rough estimate only,
not an exact measurement of time or distance.
There are two options for the “Pause Delay.” “Pause
Delay” can be active for just the initial starting point
