HQ Pro-Stitcher User Manual - Handi Quilter

Indicators & Information Boxes
During the stitching process, there are several indicators
and information boxes that can help the user
understand what the HQ Pro-Stitcher computer is
doing (Figure 69).
• “Processing” – lights up when the computer is
processing the pattern file.
• “Running” – indicates that the file is running (does
not light up during tie-off or pull-up).
• “Movement” – indicates when the HQ Pro-Stitcher
motors are physically moving.
• “Stitching” – lights up when the quilting machine
should be stitching (does not include tie-off or pullup).
• “Pause” – lights up when the system is paused for
cutting thread.
• “Tie-off” – indicates the system is performing the
specified tie-off stitches.
• “Pull-up” – indicates the system is performing the
pull-up function.
• “Delay: *” – turns on after the initial pull-up and/
or tie-off if the “Pause Delay” option is active and will
turn off after pausing to allow the user to cut their
thread. If the delay is in seconds, it will count down
the specified number of seconds. If the delay is in
inches, it will just show a “0.”
• “Jump” – indicates the system is processing a
jump.
• “End of File” – indicates the end of the pattern has
been reached.
• “Error” – will light if certain errors are encountered.
• “File:” – is the name of the pattern being stitched.
• “H” & “W” – show the height and width of the pattern.
• “X” & “Y” – show the current location of the needle.
• “Line:” – shows the current line number in the pattern
file being processed.
• “Pattern #” – shows which section of the pattern
(as separated by jumps) that is currently being
stitched. If a pattern is repeated but has no jumps,
the computer assumes it is all one pattern.
• “Dis:”(distance) – indicates the number of linear
inches traveled by the HQ Pro-Stitcher.
