Product Description

The TruStitch™ stitch regulator is designed to turn the HQ Sweet Sixteen™ into a stitch-regulated quilting machine. It uses patent-pending technology to track your sewing motion and thereby regulate the stitch lengths as you move the fabric around the table. The TruStitch™ controller uses high-resolution, optical tracking and radio frequency circuitry to follow your every motion while quilting. The TruStitch receiver receives the motion information from the

TruStitch controller and converts it to a format the HQ Sweet Sixteen can use to control the stitching speed.

The TruStitch controller contains a longlife, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery for wireless operation. A charging cable is provided to connect the USB-B type connector on the TruStitch controller to the USB-A type connector on the TruStitch receiver to recharge the battery. The TruStitch controller may still be used for quilting while charging if care is taken to avoid piercing the charge cable with the needle. The TruStitch receiver is powered with a power module.

A machine interface cable connects the

TruStitch receiver to the foot pedal connector on the machine. The foot pedal plugs into the TruStitch receiver and acts to enable the stitch regulation when in regulation mode.

Indicator LED Identification

Both the TruStitch Controller and

Receiver have indicator LEDs to guide the user.

1.

The Controller has a flashing

WHITE LED that flashes only in low light conditions, such as when it is under the quilt. This helps the quilter find the Controller. The light shuts off when the Controller is in full light.

The second LED turns YELLOW when the Controller needs to be charged.

It turns BLUE during charging and turns OFF when the Controller is fully charged (Figure 8).

2.

The Receiver has three Indicator

LEDs.

The left LED FLASHES RED when it is powered on, but not connected to the machine and/or the Controller.

The middle LED lights up YEL-

LOW when the Controller needs to be charged. It turns off when charging.

The right LED lights BLUE when the unit is powered on. See Figure 9 for placement of these LEDs.

Machine Operation

Manual Mode

When in manual mode, depressing the foot pedal will cause the sewing speed to increase, until the pedal is fully depressed, at which point, the machine speed matches the top speed setting.

Stitch-Regulated Mode

Turn the TruStitch Controller on by using the switch on the bottom of the

Controller. A bright white light will flash until it makes radio contact with the TruStitch Receiver. Once contact is made, flashing will only occur if the ambient light is low, such as when you have the Receiver under the fabric.

Two Ways to Start/Stop in Stitch-

Regulated Mode

Two Styles of Stitch Regulation

Cruise

The default Stitch-Regulation Style is called Cruise. When in Cruise stitching mode, depressing the pedal will start the machine at the defined Cruise (starting) speed. As the fabric and the TruStitch

Controller are moved together, the machine will regulate the machine speed, when the Controller motion is faster than the Cruise speed setting. It speeds up as you do, maintaining the Stitches-Per-

Inch stitch length that you’ve chosen (see

Using the Stitch Regulator, Page 12).

Using Cruise style allows you to ease gently into your stitching, creating smoother starts and stops. It is the best style choice for most quilting methods.

Foot Pedal

In stitch-regulated mode, the foot pedal acts as a “Regulation Start” switch.

Once sewing is started by depressing the foot pedal, pressing the foot pedal further will have no affect on the sewing speed. The pedal acts as a simple on-off switch.

Play/Pause Button

There is also a “foot pedal-free” mode of regulated operation with the

TruStitch Stitch Regulator. When in

Regulated mode, a “Play/Pause” button can be found on the main screen at the center-right of the screen (Figure 11

on Page 10). This button can be used

to start and stop regulated operation in place of the foot pedal. Please note that the foot pedal must still be plugged into the Receiver for the TruStitch to work.

Precision

Setting the Cruise speed to 0 will automatically engage the Precision Style of

Stitch Regulation.

When in Precision stitching style, depressing the pedal (or pressing the Play/

Pause Button) activates the machine and starts regulation but the machine does not start sewing yet.

The status box on the top center part of the screen will turn from red to green to indicate the machine is active.

Moving the TruStitch Controller with the fabric will start the machine stitching. When the Controller stops moving, the machine stops stitching, possibly in mid-stroke. The default Needle Up/

Down choice is overridden by Precision.

Releasing the pedal or pressing the

Pause/Play button stops machine operation nd moves the needle to the chosen

Needle Up/Down position.

Choosing a non-zero Cruise value will re-engage the Cruise setting.

TruStitch User Manual 11

Using the Stitch Regulator

The TruStitch Controller is designed to track the motion of the Controller across the table, not the motion of the fabric during quilting. For proper stitch regulation, always keep the controller moving with the fabric as described below.

1.

Place the Controller on the table surface, under the quilt sandwich, either to the right or left side of the machine head during operation (Figure 12).

2.

Position the Controller in the area where you would typically hold the fabric when free-motion quilting.

3.

Use your hands to hold the quilting area taut beneath the needle of the machine. As you move the quilt sandwich, maintain contact with the Controller through the fabric with the palm of the hand or directly with fingers of the hand.

4.

Keep the fabric flat between your hands and move both hands together while keeping them parallel to your body. It is best to start your experience with the Stitch Regulator by using

Cruise style set to a low speed percentage setting.

TIP: Think of moving the fabric in the

compass directions: North, South, East,

West. Remember that your quilting will mimic the speed and direction of the

Controller, but only if you keep your hand motions parallel to the needle and to the table edge (Figure 13).

Do not move the Controller in a circle around the needle. If you do, the needle will make multiple stitches in one place, as it tries to keep up with the movement of the Controller (Figure 14).

TruStitch Accessories

Two Accessories are provided with the

TruStitch Stitch Regulator to give the quilter more flexibility in quilting.

extremely soft, you may choose to fold the edge of the quilt sandwich to stiffen it slightly.

Magnet

1.

The Magnet allows you to quilt

“hands-free” without holding onto the

Controller through the quilt sandwich.

Place the Controller on the table, just outside of where you wish to place your hands. Place the Magnet on top of the

Controller and on the top of the quilt sandwich (Figure 15).

Free-motion quilt as usual while keeping your hands close to the Controller.

The Controller will move with the quilt sandwich, regulating your stitch length.

WARNING: If the quilt sandwich is

extremely soft, you may not be able to use the Magnet, because the Controller won’t be able to follow the motion of your hand if the fabric sandwich buckles between your hand and the Controller.

Most quilt sandwiches are stiff enough to allow you to use the Magnet.

Figure 15.

Coaster

1.

The Coaster allows you to quilt close to the edge of the quilt without losing stitch-regulation.

Attach the Coaster to the edge of the quilt sandwich using the two clips. The clips were designed for one-handed action. Place the Coaster on the table, press on both clips at the same time with one hand. Use the other hand to slide the quilt edge into the clips, then release the clips (Figure 16).

Tips and Techniques

1.

Don’t twist the fabric under the needle, as this will cause the needle to sew faster or slower than it should and you will not maintain regulation. As long as the fabric remains in the same orientation relative to your body while quilting, the regulation will be accurate.

2.

When you have finished a section of quilting, readjust the position of the

TruStitch Controller to make the next section easier to work on. Don’t try to quilt large sections of the quilt at one time. Work within a space no farther out than 6”-15” from the needle.

3.

Cruise speed can help you keep the needle in motion and prevent long stitches e.g. when doing zigzag, star or circular patterns.

4.

Adjusting your Cruise speed will give you better results. Experiment with different percentages to find the level you like best for each quilting method.

For example, micro-stippling with a high stitches-per-inch count will require a higher percentage setting than stitchin-the-ditch.

5.

When using rulers hold the Controller next to the ruler and move the ruler with both hands. As you adjust the ruler, adjust the Controller as well. Some quilters prefer to use the Magnet when doing ruler work. Don’t forget to release the foot pedal or press the Pause button before moving the controller.

6.

A hoop may be used in conjunction with the Controller for better control of the fabric being sewn. You can hold the

Controller just outside of the hoop with your hand or with the Magnet.

7.

If you are using a higher stitchesper-inch setting and the Cruise speed is set to zero, it is recommended that you keep the Controller closer to the needle.

Be careful not to let the Controller hang up on the needle plate.

8.

Because the Controller senses its motion across the table top, it is important that it never be allowed to pass over the gap in the table behind the needle where the HQ Sweet Sixteen arm is placed. This gap will cause a break in the information sent to the Receiver and will result in unevent stitches.

For the same reason, make sure the

Controller doesn’t extend past the edge of the table (which could happen when using the Coaster).
