Stipple Quilting with the Hoop AQ

AQ quilting
AQ quilting is a method for filling a large size quilt with the
AQ design patterns (embroidery stippling patterns) using
the hoop AQ.
Some ready to sew AQ design patterns (AQ-1 to 4) and
element patterns (SP-1 to 20) for making your original
design are included as the built-in designs.
Study and follow the steps below when stippling a large
size quilt.
Step 1
Prepare quilt layers and measure the size of the
embroidery area to be stippled. Leave a 7-10 cm (3" to 4")
allowance around the embroidery area (see page 91).
Step 2
Select an AQ design pattern from the built-in designs or
create your original pattern by combining the element
patterns.
Step-3
Calculate the optimum pattern size for your quilt and adjust
the pattern size automatically by using the AQ calculator
(see page 89).
Step 4
Save the adjusted AQ design pattern and print template
sheets using AQ Print Tool (included in M860 Tools).
Step 5
Mark the centerlines and the up mark on the quilt top and
place the template sheets to check the arrangement of the
AQ design patterns.
Mark the reference lines for the first pattern in the center of
the quilt.
Step-6
Position the quilt layers on the hoop AQ using the AQ
template as a reference and set the quilt layers to the
hoop with the magnetic clamps (see page 91).
Step 7
Attach the hoop AQ to the machine and sew the pattern.
Sew the center section first, then the neighboring sections
one by one outward.
Step 8
Remove the hoop AQ from the machine and remove the
magnetic clamps. Move the quilt layers to the next position
to sew and set the quilt layers with the magnetic clamps.
Sew the next pattern and repeat this step until the quilt is
completely filled with the AQ design patterns (see page
92).
