Basting Mode
The Tiara II has a basting mode that causes a stitch to be
formed at a specified time interval – every half second,
every three/quarters of a second, every second, every 1.5
second, or every two seconds. (Figure 23)
Touch the basting icon (Figure 24) to activate basting
mode. Then press the “+” or “-” button to set the time
interval for the basting stitch.
Press the foot pedal to begin quilting. The Tiara II will
take a stitch (needle down and then needle up) at the
specified interval. Coordinate how quickly you move the
quilt sandwich with how quickly the machine takes a
basting stitch. Experiment with the various speed options
along with moving the quilt to find which of the settings
work best for you to position the basting stitches on your
quilt.
Presets
Save up to three preset speeds to quickly switch between
speed preferences. For example, you may prefer a slower
speed when using rulers and a faster speed when doing
all-over meandering quilting. (Figure 25)
Use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the speed percentage
and then press the record button next to one of the preset
values to store that speed as a preset. When you want to
use one of the preset speeds, simply press the speed.
Up/Down/Tie-Off
The button with the needle image in the center of the
screen can assist you in creating tie-off stitches, basting
or needle-positioning functions without the use of the
foot pedal (Figure 26). Pressing and releasing the button
quickly will send the needle to the next needle stop posi-
tion. If the needle is up, pressing the button will cause
the needle to move to the down position. If the needle is
down, it will return to the up position.
Pressing and holding the button for a longer time allows
you to do a full stitch. As long as you continue to hold the
button down the machine will continue to stitch at a slow
rate, and when the button is released the needle will stop
in the closest stop position (up or down) available. This
action is useful to tie off beginning and ending stitches.
