4.6 Restart<br />
Quilting the Quilt - Which CS Feature To use<br />
Restart<br />
Restarts are needed for a variety of reasons:<br />
* The thread break sensor stops the machine.<br />
* The quilter presses the Stop button.<br />
* The machine stops because it hit an obstacle.<br />
* Only part of the pattern needs to be quilted. This is 'selective sewing' and is very<br />
useful when only one pattern element is needed. Just define a boundary, move the<br />
pattern to the boundary and resize / reposition the pattern so the selected portion is<br />
positioned as desired. Don't press Quilt, press Restart and choose your own restart<br />
position. Press Stop when the selective sewing is done.<br />
Whatever the reason, this feature makes restarting easy.<br />
4.6.1 Thread Break Restarts<br />
Feature: Restart (when a thread break has been detected)<br />
Assumptions: The machine stopped and the thread break was fixed.<br />
Steps to follow :<br />
1. To continue quilting, choose the "Auto Restart" option.<br />
Pressing this button moves the machine back to where the break was detected.<br />
2. CS asks if you want to confirm or move the Restart Point.<br />
If the "Auto Restart" point is close, use Back and/or Forward to move the sewing<br />
head 7 stitches at a time until the sewing head is positioned properly. Press Quilt<br />
when ready, and continue to sew.<br />
3. Because there is a delay between the thread breaking and the sensor stopping<br />
the machine, the Restart Point probably needs to be moved. Press “PickNewPoint”<br />
to release the sewing head so you can move it to a different spot. The new point can<br />
be identified using the stitcher or the computer screen.<br />
