Operating your GrandQuilter

Controlling sewing speed

You can control the sewing speed on your
machine in two ways; with your foot control
and with the speed control slide on your sewing
machine.

Foot control

On your GrandQuilter you can control the
sewing speed by using your foot control. The
harder you press the foot control, the faster the
machine runs.
If you press the foot control to the bottom, the
machine runs at the maximum speed set by the

speed control slide.

Note: Make sure you have the right type of foot control
for your machine. Foot Control model YC-485 is used
for the GrandQuilter.
Speed control slide
With the speed control slide on your
GrandQuilter, you can change the sewing speed
to suit your needs. For instance when making
freehand quilt designs/stippling, lower the the
sewing speed to avoid jump stitches.
To raise the sewing speed, slide the bar to the
right.
To lower the sewing speed, slide the bar to the
left.

Operating your GrandQuilter

Bobbin winding button

Press the bobbin winding button on your
GrandQuilter to wind the bobbin. The light
beside the button will light up while you are
winding the bobbin. When the bobbin is full,
the GrandQuilter will automatically stop and the
bobbin light will be turned off.
Note: With your GrandQuilter you can wind the bobbin
while sewing.

Thread Cutter

The thread cutter button on your GrandQuilter
helps you trim the top and bobbin thread while
sewing.
After trimming the threads you can continue
sewing without having to pull the bobbin thread
to the top.
Note: If you are using a thread thicker than 30, use
the the thread cutter on the face cover. You cannot use
the footcontrol or the Needle Up/Down while you are
trimming the threads.

Needle Up/Down

The Needle Up/Down function on your
GrandQuilter is useful when you are turning a
corner on your quilt. Press the Needle Up/Down
button to bring the needle bar up or down.
When the needle is down the red indicator next
to the button will light up. When the needle is
up the green indicator will light up.
Your GrandQuilter will stop with the needle
up or down depending on which light is
switched on. After using the Thread Cutter your
GrandQuilter will always stop with the needle in
the up position.
