HQ Pro-Stitcher User Manual - Handi Quilter

(a green check in the “Start” box) or for every manual
jump within the pattern (a green check in the
“Entire” box). With both boxes blank, there will be
no pause for trimming thread. A green check mark in
a box indicates that the option is turned on, while an
empty box indicates that it is turned off (Figure 37).
Tie Off
The “Tie-Off” stitches may be turned on or off for the
start and end points of a pattern. A description of the
tie-off stitches can be found under Step 3 on page 36.
A green check mark indicates the tie-off is turned on
and a blank box indicates that it is turned off.
Pull Up
The “Pull-up” process includes the steps necessary
to pull the bobbin thread up to the top of the quilt
prior to stitching. There are two pull-up settings to
choose from, “On” or “Auto”.
On
A green check mark in this box indicates that the
“Pull-up” option is turned on and will occur at the
beginning of the pattern. A blank box indicates that
this option is turned off and will be skipped.
Auto Turned On
A green check mark in this box will cause the HQ
Pro-Stitcher to perform the following steps at the
beginning of the pattern (assuming the “On” option
is selected):
1. The machine will move to the start point and take
a full stitch, then shift to the right 3 inches.
2. The user should pull up the bobbin thread and
hold both the bobbin and top threads and press the
“Resume” button.
Figure 39
3. The machine will return to the start position and
execute the “Tie-Off” stitches if that option is turned
on or start stitching out the pattern if turned off.
Bobbin Thread Pull Up Fixes
If the bobbin thread does not come up or
is pulled back under the quilt when the
machine shifts aside, the user can press
the “Enable Motors” button to toggle
the motors to a “Disabled” state. The
user can then push the machine back to
the start point and use the “Full Stitch”
button to pull the thread up manually.
Pressing “Resume” will then move the
machine back to the start point and continue
the quilting process (Figure 39).
