pattern and prompts for pulling up the bobbin thread.<br />

9. Click OK when ready to quilt. If multiple patterns were moved into the boundary,<br />

they will stitch in the order they were moved. At the end of the quilting sequence, you<br />

will be prompted to pull up the bobbin thread and click OK. It doesn't matter how the<br />

bobbin thread is pulled up, secured or trimmed. Just be sure to click OK because it<br />

completes this process.<br />

Tip: Be Patient! CS will take a little time before it moves to the<br />

beginning of the pattern and starts to quilt. CS needs to examine<br />

every TRIM boundary and identify where each additional tie-off<br />

goes. Be Patient when doing a restart too - it takes time.<br />

4.4.2 Pantographs using Edge_To_Edge<br />

Edge To Edge pantographs are continuous line designs stitched repeatedly across<br />

the quilt. Many pantographs span the entire quilt but they can also be confined to an<br />

inside area or even a border. Aligning the rows of a pantograph can be tricky,<br />

especially after rolling the quilt so CS has a special feature (E2E Continue) to help<br />

do that successfully.<br />

Feature: Edge to Edge (E2E)<br />

Assumptions: The machine is threaded, bobbins wound, belts engaged and<br />

patterns have been added to the project.<br />

Prep Step #1.) Measure the quilt length and width accurately before loading the quilt.<br />

If you are leaving a margin at the top and bottom, be sure to reduce your total quilt<br />

length by this amount. Also it is a good idea to reduce the length a little to<br />

accommodate shrinkage caused by the quilting. This could be from 1% to 5%,<br />

depending on the fabrics, batting and quilting density.<br />

Prep Step #2) Load the quilt and baste the outer edges.<br />

Prep Step #3) Choose a pattern and think about the scale. Large scale, open quilting<br />

results in a more supple quilt and small scale, dense quilting is a bit stiffer.<br />

Prep Step #4) Change the pattern details (height and width) to reflect the scale you<br />

prefer.<br />

Pantograph patterns with irregular outer edges are designed to nest together. This
