Preparing quilt layers
Prepare a quilt top, base fabric and batting.
Lightweight battings for machine quilting are recommended.
Add a 7-10 cm (3" to 4") outer margin to the embroidery
area when deciding the overall quilt size.
Pin or baste all layers together.
Print the template sheets and general arrangement with
AQ Print Tool.
Mark the centerlines on the quilt top and mark an arrow
head to indicate orientation.
Place the template sheets on the quilt to check the general
arrangement.
Mark reference lines for the first section on the quilt top in
the center.
Sew the center section first, then neighboring sections one
by one outward.
Setting quilt layers in the hoop AQ
Position the quilt layers on the hoop AQ. Place the AQ
template (with the arrow mark facing up) on the quilt and
adjust the position of the quilt aligning the reference lines.
Set the quilt layers in the hoop by pressing down the AQ
template. While pressing the AQ template close to the
outer frame, snap the magnetic clamps onto the hoop to
fasten the quilt layers to the hoop. Remove pins and
basting stitches from the hooped area.
Attaching the hoop AQ to the machine
Select the AQ design pattern adjusted and saved in step 4
and press OK key.
Attach the hoop AQ after the carriage has moved to the
starting position.
You may need to roll the quilt layers to prevent the free
ends of the quilt from obstructing the movement of the
carriage.
