4.8 Overview

Ruler

The Ruler tool is used to measure distances in a

design or directly on the quilt (Figure 4.22). To use

the ruler, move the machine so the crosshairs (or the

needle) are at the starting point of the item to

be measured.

Press the Ruler button and move the machine to

begin measuring. The ruler gives you the distance

in the X and the Y directions, as well as the direct

angular distance (represented by the triangle symbol)

(Figure 4.23). Press the Ruler button again to turn

off the ruler. If the quilter wishes to reset the ruler

starting point, press the Ruler button to turn off the

ruler and then turn it back on when the crosshairs

are located at the desired starting position to begin

measuring.

Follow

The Follow button changes the way the design is

viewed relative to the crosshairs (Figure 4.24).

In the standard view (where the Follow button is

not selected) the design remains stationary in the

background but the crosshairs move when the

machine is moved.

With the Follow view, the crosshairs remain

stationary in the middle of the display. As the

machine is moved around, the design moves rather

than the crosshairs.

This view can be very helpful if the design must

be zoomed in and the quilter does not want to

constantly Pan the view to find the crosshairs. The

Follow option is automatically turned off when a

new design is selected.
