Navigating The Pro-Stitcher Screens - Baby Lock Pro-Stitcher BLPS Instruction And Reference Manual

Navigating the Pro-Stitcher Screens

The Pro-Stitcher has five menu buttons located
on the right-hand side of most screens (Figure 3).
These buttons will aid in navigating quickly through
the menu screens. The button that is dark blue in-
dicates the screen that is currently active. Here is a
brief description of these screens:
• Main Menu: This is the screen in which the system
starts. There are options here to update the system,
shut down the system, and manually establish com-
munication between the Pro-Stitcher and the quilt-
ing machine by pressing Connect if necessary.
• Library: Here the user can load, save, or optimize
a pattern, view copyright information for the current
pattern, or close the file.
• Setup: This screen allows the user to set stitch
length, the number and length of tie-off stitches,
auto jump threshold distance, and machine speed, as
well as other advanced options.
• Quilt: This screen allows the user to perform pat-
tern manipulations, such as Crop, Rotate, Mirror, Re-
size and Repeat. The user can also Reposition a pat-
tern, use the Channel Lock feature, record Freehand
motion and begin the actual stitching of a pattern.
At the top right-hand corner of many of the screens
is a button that will state either "Motors Enabled"
or "Motors Disabled" (Figure 4). If the motors are
enabled and the X and Y axes engagement levers are
in their engaged positions (the black levers on the
right-hand side of the carriage should both be down
to be in the "engaged" position), then the user will
be unable to move the Pro-Stitcher by hand. By
pressing that button, it will toggle to indicate "Mo-
tors Disabled" and now the machine may be pushed
around by hand as desired.
At the top of many of the screens are several buttons
that may be used as needed (Figure 5). A description
of those functions will be given later in these instruc-
tions.

Keyboard Icon
A small keyboard icon is found near the top
left corner of the screen. This icon only func-
tions when using Art & Stitch and is used by
tapping the icon to bring down a touchscreen
keyboard. The icon is not shown through-
out this manual because is it not relevant to
Pro-Stitcher functions. See page 47 for more
information.
