INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE
- Controller: Advanced sensor that moves in harmony with the quilt to control stitch length.
- Receiver: The receiver translates the signals from the controller to the machine to regulate stitch length.
- Magnet: Optional-use tool for keeping the controller positioned on the quilt, freeing up your hands for certain techniques and methods.
- Coaster: Attaches firmly to the edge of the quilt, allowing more flexibility for quilting small projects or quilt borders.
HOW IT WORKS
First plug the Tru Stitch receiver into an electrical outlet and into the back your HQ Sweet Sixteen machine. The receiver can be placed near or under the machine table.
Then attach the controller to your quilt. It needs to remain in contact with the table top and move along with the quilt as you work. You have three options. One, place the controller against the table under your quilt and then use your hand to guide the controller along as you quilt.
Second, for a hands-free option use the included magnet on top of your quilt to sandwich the quilt against the controller.
Third you can clip the optional coaster onto your quilt edge and place the controller in the cradle. It will move along as you move the quilt (this option works better with smaller quilts)
