Mirror and Flip

Press the Mirror button (Figure 5.34) to mirror the

design vertically. Press the Flip button (Figure 5.35)

to flip the design horizontally. It is best to press the

Baseline button following a Flip or Mirror function.

Otherwise, other functions (such as Rotate) that are

based on the original design orientation, will appear

to be happening backwards (e.g. a Rotate clockwise

after a Mirror without pressing Baseline will rotate

counterclockwise).

2-Point Rotation

2-Point Rotation uses the quilting machine to

identify a line that represents the rotation angle.

To understand how it works, look at the light blue

bounding box around the design. The bottom of that

bounding box is a flat line, or a 0° angle. Imagine

drawing a line and then rotating that bounding box

so the bottom line of the bounding box matches the

line you just drew. 2-Point Rotation enables the

quilter to draw this line and the Pro-Stitcher will

rotate the design to match the angle of that line.

To do this, move the quilting machine to a point

on the quilt left of the line to follow and press the 2

Point Start button (Figure 5.36). Move the machine

to a point further to the right along that same line

and press the 2 Point End button that appears after

pressing 2 Point Start (Figure 5.37). The rotation

angle will appear in the number box and the design

will rotate to match. Either the Start or the End

point may be redefined by moving the quilting

machine to a new location and pressing either the

2-Point Start or the 2-Point End button, depending

on which end of the line needs to be repositioned.

The Pro-Stitcher assumes that a Start Point on

the left followed by an End Point on the right,

without moving up or down at all (i.e. a straight line

with Start on the left and End on the right) is a 0°

rotation, or no rotation. A Start Point on the right

and an End Point on the left (i.e., the same line, but

the Start and End points reversed) is a 180° rotation,

or in other words, the design will be upside down.
