4.5 Record Mode
Quilting the Quilt - Which CS Feature To use
Record Mode
Another remarkable feature of CS is being able to create new designs by moving the
sewing head and saving that motion as a new pattern. This is similar to tracing a
design and saving it as a new pattern that can be used just like every other CS
pattern. It is easy to do because the belts do not have to be engaged to record the
motions. CS automatically creates a new pattern file and saves it for repeated use,
without needing Autosketch or any other CAD program.
Feature: Record mode (part of the Regulated Sewing feature)
The Record Mode is a subset of the Regulated Sewing feature.
Tip: Record mode can be used without the belts being engaged.
The belts need to be engaged when stitching the newly recorded
pattern however.
Assumptions: The quilt is loaded, bobbin is full, machine is threaded and the
belts are (probably) detached. Recording the free motion quilting is usually done
without the belts that control the sewing head. This allows the sewing head to move
freely in all directions. Replaying the recorded pattern requires the belts to be
engaged.
Steps to follow:
1. Choose a style of Regulated_Sewing
Click on the small black arrow to the right of the Regulated Sewing icon to see the
choices. Original, Plus and Smooth vary only in the speed of the needle moving up &
down. Try them all and choose the one that you like best.
2. Click on the Regulated Sewing icon.
A Dialog box shows settings and buttons:
All the functions in Regulated Sewing work the same way when the Record mode is
active. Move the sewing head to the beginning of the pattern to be recorded.
