Baste Stitch Mode The Baste Stitch allows you to baste the quilt top. Many quilters will baste the top and sides as they start a new quilt. This helps to hold the layers together and stabilize the quilt. The basting stitch is easily removed when the quilt is completed. Stitches per inch can be adjusted in baste mode within a range of 1 to 3. Manual Stitch Mode When in Manual mode, the needle moves at a constant speed, based on where you have set your speed. The needle will begin to move as soon as you press the start on your handle or touch the start icon on the screen. The needle will not stop until you press the stop on the handle or touch the stop icon on the screen. You will have the best results with this stitch mode if you move the machine at a consistent speed. Ruler Mode Ruler mode works the same as regulated mode, but gives a longer time without moving the machine before it turns the stitch mode off. This gives you time to move or reposition your ruler without the stitch mode turning off. Stitches Per Inch When stitches per inch is activated, you can use this icon to adjust the number of stitches per inch. The range is 1 to 22. Press the +/- symbols to selected desired stitch number. Note: in baste mode the stitches per inches range is 1 to 3. Speed The speed can be adjusted between 5% and 100% when using the Manual Stitch Mode. Adjusts are made in increments of 5 each time the +/- icon is pressed. In Idle Mode speed can be adjusted between 5% and 30%. In some stitch modes the speed cannot be set and the icon will be grayed out. 13
