Quilting the Quilt - Which CS Feature To use
Utility Functions
Set Defaults
Center Column contains defaults using check boxes (check = ON, blank = OFF)
Trace – Do Not Change
Laser Control – Check means CS controls the laser and will turn it on when
needed.
Auto Laser – Do Not Change
Bobbin Stitch – Check means CS will help bring all the threads to the top of the
quilt by stopping at each Start and End, taking a single stitch, and prompting the
quilter to pull up the bobbin thread. Unchecking this will make the sewing happen
non-stop - dragging the thread as needed.
Needle – Check means the needle is ‘on’ and will stitch as expected. Turning the
needle ‘off’ is a great feature if the stitch placement needs to be verified before it
is stitched.
Thread Break – Check means the thread break sensor is on, and the machine will
stop if a thread break is detected. The thread break sensor is a cylinder in the top
thread path. The thread wraps around it so when the machine is stitching, the
thread is being drawn off the spool/cone, through the tension disks and around
the sensor, making the sensor turn. If it stops turning for a few seconds, the
machine assumes the thread has broken and it will stop moving.
Stitch Points – Check means CS will take an extra stitch in every point of a
pattern. This produces very sharp, distinct points.
View Keypad – Check means an shaded image of the stitcher keypad will be
displayed on the screen every time CS is started. This box is for convenience
only, and can be closed at any time.
Tip: Sometimes an empty bobbin will trigger a thread break
message. This is because when the bobbin is empty, the machine can’
t complete a stitch so the top thread stops being drawn off the spool /
cone, the sensor stops turning and the machine will stop.
Right Column contains some defaults that use drop-down boxes to list the choices
for each default.
Reg Type refers to the stitch regulator when in regulated mode.
Reg Smoothing Do Not Change
P2P Type – is the default (line or pattern) for the Point To Point feature.
Reference Point – is the default position of the reference point used in Repeat
Patterns.
Changes are highlighted on the screen, but they will not change the defaults until
they are saved.
