(D) Presets
Save up to two preset speeds to quickly switch between
speed preferences. For example, you may prefer a slower
speed when using rulers and a faster speed when doing all-
D
over meandering .
Use the "+" and "–" buttons to adjust the speed percentage
and then press the Record button next to one of the preset
values to store that speed as a preset. To use one of the
preset speeds, simply press the speed.
(E) Basting Mode In Manual Operation
The Quilt Maker Pro 18 Versa has a basting mode that
causes a stitch to be formed at a specified time interval
– every 0.5 second, 0.75 second, 1.0 second, 1.5 second,
or 2.0 seconds. Touch the basting icon to activate basting
mode. Then press the "+" or "–" button to set the time
interval for the basting stitch.
Press the foot pedal to begin quilting. The Quilt Maker Pro
18 Versa will take a stitch (needle down and then needle
up) at the specified interval. Coordinate how quickly you
E
move the quilt sandwich with how quickly the machine
takes a basting stitch. Experiment with the various speed
options along with moving the quilt to find which of the
settings work best for you to position the basting stitches
on your quilt .
(F) Easy-Set Tension
The tension box on the Main Screen shows the current
tension setting as a numeric value. As the tension dial is
turned clockwise to tighten the top tension, the number
increases in increments of five. As the tension dial is turned
counter-clockwise to loosen the top tension, the number
decreases in increments of five. The faster the dial is
turned, the faster the numbers increase or decrease.
After setting the bobbin tension, test the top tension by
stitching on a fabric scrap on the edge of the quilt batting
and backing. Increase or decrease as needed until balanced
tension is achieved. Make a note of the thread type (weight,
brand, color) and the tension value to quickly and easily set
F
the tension when this same thread is used again in the future.
