Reposition a design after a Motor Error, Crash, or Reboot
Вставка

- Hi all,
Today I want to show you how I reposition a my edge to edge designs after I reboot my tablet. This can be because of a motor error, or I just had to shutdown for the night and come back the next day. I remember when I first started long arm quilting, I always thought I had to finish it before I turned my machine off, because I wasn't sure how to line things back up...well not anymore. I often come back to projects days later and this is how I line everything back up to keep going. There are a lot of new owners out there and I hope this helps you out.
Thank you for your help each time I need to review this after a shutdown. Keep up the great work
I'm a newbie and when i had to shut down I was panicking but i remembered another video of yours and bingo. You are my go-to guy! Hi from Oz.
Would love to give you many multiple thumbs up! You are so fun and easy going and show exactly what we need to know. Your work is fabulous. Thank you. 😊
I needed this task again...and you explained perfectly! Thanks Adam for ALL you do to help us Quilters! (heart)
Adam, I watch you all the time and love all your videos, just want you to know that this is the first time I was able to understand this reposition. Fortunately, I have had only one time that I had to do this and it was confusing and a Lot of lost time. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Great video. You saved my quilt today. So easy to follow you.
I am sooo. glad this video is available. I was able to confidently turn off my machine at night and return in the morning with you and a cup of coffee.
Sometimes sleep is the best.
Thanks Adam. You ARE sew fun and you make things so easy!
I like this video because the next time I'm thinking, "how do you use drag and drop to find your spot again?", I can come right to this video. Invaluable! When I first got my machine I would try to time things so I could finish before I went to bed AND I definitely left my machine on overnight more than once. I finally sat down at some point and figured out a method for myself that I could do, but it's way less elegant that this drag and drop method. I really want to add this method to my bag of tricks.
So helpful! can't wait to find your other videos
You are so great! Thank you for this video. I can't tell you how many times I've used it to help when I shut down in the middle of quilting. You are a wonderful instructor!
AWESOME!!! Everyone of your tutorials and videos are so easy to understand!!! Thanks sew much! Happy Quilting!
Thanks Adam, this was the easiest and clearest method I have seen. Now I won’t be as intimidated to do this.
Hope it helped.
Thank You! Helped a lot!! Saved me a lot of stress when my computer decided to have a MBF. Clear instructions. Love the tutorial.
WOW, I spent a whole afternoon yesterday trying to do this, then I found your video and it is exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
So glad I could help.
Thank you for these quick tips, this was exactly what I was searching for. I should know by now to just search your videos instead a general search. :)
so very very helpful, Adam! Its the words "move the design to the needle" that helped it all click in my brain. I am sometimes slow on the uptake. LOL You're a terrific teacher!
My favorite is when it clicks. I’m slow on the uptake until I hear someone explain in a way that just makes sense.
@@adamsewfun. ohh me too...sometimes I think I get it and then realize I have no clue!! Lol
This video is really helpful! Thank you so much, Adam! I'd love it if you'd do a video on how to offset panto rows, for example Baptist fans. I just haven't gotten the hang of it from reading the Prostitcher manual. I just know you'll explain it in a way I understand.
Thanks for the suggestion, now I need to find the perfect project to do that video on.
Thank you for this- it's always been confusing for me and you've made it simple!
Thank you Adam!
Thanks Adam! You saved my bacon again. 🤗
Glad I could help!
Soooo helpful!!! Thank you !!!
Very helpful. 👍👍👍
Thanks!!! Great explanation!
Good job guy!!! As usual!!
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. (I'm a newbie).
Glad I could help. I have lots of videos to help you on your PS journey
Another great video, Adam. I’ve a suggestion for a video series - borders (corners, top, sides, bottom)! I’ve done three E2E quilts with the fourth going on in a day or two. I’m ready for a new challenge. Educate me, please!
Thanks Joanne, I have heard the question about borders and corners before and I have to find out how I could do a series with it and not have the videos be too long. We usually do a whole 3 hr class that talks about this, so it’s on my list to think about. Thanks for the great suggestion.
I’d be interested in a virtual class if you have one. If you ever hold in-person classes in my area, I’m all in!
Love your videos! When I am looking for help on anything with the pro-stitcher, I look for your videos first. They are clear and easy to follow. I do have a question for you. I am about to do my first border with an edge to edge in the middle of the quilt. Would you suggest that I quilt the center area (edge to edge) first and roll my bars back to do the border after the center area is completed? Thanks in advance!
Hi Joan, I would do the top border and the corners, baste the side borders as I go but stitch the center with my e2e. When I get to the bottom, I would the do the bottom corners and border. I then take my quilt off the frame, turn it, and reload it to do the sides.
This is really an interesting and easy way to realign your design and quilt, thanks! The video was super clear and easy to understand. Question: After you get all realigned as shown, would you want to jump down a start point to the second row's start point, so you can then resume stitching at the start of the second row?
You are exactly correct. You would jump down to the beginning of whatever row you are needing to stitch next. Sometime I come back at row 4 and I would jump to stitch row 5.
That was my question too. Can’t wait for another virtual class!
I have followed your instructions before and it has worked. Now I am on the last row 10 inches from end of quilt and the tablet crashed and I cannot get it to realign. I cropped, realigned, baselined and corrected my start point and all it does it go around the edges of the quilt and stops. Very frustrating.
Sorry Carmen, it sounds like a step missing a step somewhere. Hard to help specifically when I’m not there with you. Try moving your start point into the row you want to stitch, then using the up arrows to cycle the start point to the point you want to start. Not the Jumps arrows, the arrows that are either above or below the scroll bar.
Thank you@@adamsewfun.
Thank you Adam! When you are doing this do you need to redo your frame space and area or will bringing the design in automatically set it?
Here’s the thing with frame space. If you advance and make sure the next row is in your frame space, you should be in the clear. With that being said, I think it’s best practice to create a new frame space with every pass. The reason being, the space your machine can move shrinks with each pass, so creating a new space will really show where your machine can more. You do not need a new area unless there is something you have to do with it. Once you set up an E2E the area really isn’t needed anymore.
Yeah, but how do you get the stitching to start on the second row???
You do Pro-Stitcher New Start/End
Really enjoying your videos! My question is, do you use this same method of repositioning when stitching a cropped block, within the same quilt, with a different design? I can't seem to get my cross hairs to go on that start and stop points of the block.
I'm not sure I follow fully. Are you cropping one block but using that same design in multiple blocks? If I were doing this, I would set up the first block. Once that is the way I like it (cropped, sized, position), I would baseline and save that block. When I needed the next one, I would open the saved file and use an area to skew into that new block or just use the area to help me align the new block. Hope that helps?
Thank you so much for being such a good teacher that I can understand I will refer back to this video often cause I’m a newbie on the pro stitcher❣️🧵✂️🪡❤️💖💕💗
Yes!! that would be me. I don’t have pro stitcher. I have QBOT.
I wish I could help you with the QBOT, but I have no clue :(
Thanks again for another awesome video. Do you have any plans to do a video of how to stitch a corner design and connect it to a border design. Have not quite figured it out yet. The videos are either too old, not using Pro Stitcher Premium or they have too many complicated steps. HELP 😩.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I don't have anything planned at this point. There are problems because we teach that in a full 3 hr class that Handi Quilter offers. Most of the steps can't be skipped, so it will always be a long process to teach. If I can think of a way to make it into videos, I will try. You definitely have me thinking about it.
@@adamsewfun. Thank you for the quick response. Your customer service is top notch. Your awesome.
Thank you for this video! Very clear however now that I’ve got it repositioned how do I start it back up! No run button? I’m new help!
Hi Denise, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I was at educator training all week in Salt Lake and just returned home at 12 last night. The RUN button will only appear and be able to be activated when you are in the Pro-Stitcher tab, with Quilt in the ribbon selected. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MOVED YOUR START POINT TO THE CORRECT POSITION BEFORE YOU HIT RUN. PS always wants to start at the beginning unless you tell it to start somewhere else.
Thank you! I know you are terribly busy and I really appreciate you replying to me. I also enjoyed meeting you while you were in Texas! Hope you get to relax soon! Thanks again
Is there any chance you can explain or video at the end of a row on E2E how you continue on the next row, when you row your quilt? I am new to pro-stitcher and having a hard time figuring out the lining up parts ect. Thank you so much
After doing the drag and drop do you baseline?
You don’t have to. You do want to make sure you move your start point to the correct spot.
After you line it up, how do you advance to the next row?
Prostitcher tab, new start/end in the ribbon. Then you can use your jump arrows to move to the begging of a row, or use the auto/auto button under start to get to a specific point. Just like you would with a thread break.
how do I line up after thread break then I turn off machine?
Did the thread break, so you shut down for the day and are now coming back to the project? If that is the case, the first step is to line up the whole design first. Once that is done, then you can move your start point to where the thread break happened.
@@adamsewfun. thanks
@@adamsewfun. thank you worked great
I have never used drag and drop In all the years I’ve had PS, but going to give it a shot. Once you find the position with drop/drag, do you use reposition new start point to start your next row?
that was my question also. I just bought my Amara and I'm overloaded with info....and questions
Once you have moved the design to where you want it, you would go into the Pro-Stitcher Tab, New Start/End in the ribbon and select the start of the row you want to stitch out next. Barbara, I have a series quilting an E2E from start to finish, you should check that out. It starts at loading and goes all the way to cropping the final row. I even tossed a thread break in there because I ran to of bobbin. It really does have a ton of info in the series.
Adam...what if we didn't save it? I have only had my machine for a month, and didn't know enough to save it!! How do I get restarted?
If you didn’t save, you have to try to recreate the design set up. I usually open the design I’m using and try to resize it to match the size I have stitched. Then I use that size and make the repeats I need.
okay, got it on repositioning after a shut down, but still confused on where and how to actually start the 2nd row
Once you have it repositioned, you have to pick where you want to start. If you are starting at the beginning of a row, you can go to new start/end. Under the Start column on the sidebar, you have 3 sets of arrows. The bottom set are under the word “jump” or “ump.” If you use this set, each time you move it, the start point will go to the start after a jump. So pushing down once should take you to the beginning of the second row.
What do you do if you didn’t save, can you go back and start where it left off and finish the row with your design?
If you didn't save and only had a motor error, you can reconnect, line up and start where you ended. If the tablet crashes, you will have to recreate everything from the start. If I ever have a motor error and realize I didn't save. The first thing I do after it reconnects is save it. Then I can line it up and and continue stitching.
i know that some day I will get that Drag/Drop to work for me.....still freaks me out!!!
It takes a few times to get it, but when you do, you won't look back.
Thank you for posting this video as well! And just to confirm, from this point, you set a new start point, right?
YES, I think I left that part out....You always have to tell Pro-Stitcher where you want it to start unless it's jumping to the next position itself.
After this, how do you get it to continue and stitch. When I hit run it tries to go back to the previous row and gets stuck on the bar and says click, click, click. Then I have to start over again.
After you reposition, set a new start point where you want the Pro-Stitcher to start. If it’s the beginning of the row, you can use the arrows under the jumps, or you can just use the Auto button. Anytime you move designs like this, you have to tell Pro-Stitcher where you want it to start.
@@adamsewfun. But how do I do that. I have only been using this machine since last Friday. LOL I am really new. I can set my area, and realign and then it tries to go back to the previous row.
@@pamelacrocker1850 prostitcher tab, new start/end, on the side bar under the Start column there are arrows that will move your start point. You want the green X to be at the position that you want to have prostitcher to start.
I finally got it to work. Or I finally worked.🤣 Then I broke a needle, broke my thread and ran out of bobbin. I am getting lots of practice using my newfound knowledge. Thank you so much.
Adam I've got a question, How do I offset a pattern on pro-stitcher? I've got a couple of designs I want to use but I can't figure out how to offset them, can you help me? Thanks
Judith, you have to use the “wrap” function to offset rows. I have this on my list to try and get a video done while I’m home.
Do you have to do any base lining when you have to reposition after a motor error?
You shouldn't have to baseline again because you are just moving everything that was already baselined.
I set up the whole quilt with E2E. I cropped the first and last row. During the quilting, I used row 2 only as I proceeded on. However, I did not know how to jump to the last cropped row after only using row 2! Please help!
I show how to change the start point between rows in this video. It's easier to just drop a link than to write it all out. Hope this helps you. ua-cam.com/video/6wiiJA78dJ0/v-deo.html
Thanks Adam. This will certainly help! Happy New Year!
On this do I have to create a new start?
Yes, you always have to tell it where you want to start or it will start at the beginning.
When I try and move my workspace it will only move the pattern in the workspace area.
I hope you figured out. I have been on the road and running for the past month and haven't been able to respond. I'm not sure what was happening but it sounds like you might have had an area cropped and not baselined after the crop. Not sure though.
Why does the motor error or ps crash. How do you reset them.
Unfortunately, the answer to that is above my pay grade. There are so many moving parts and connections on a machine that is moving the whole time. Just one connection need to juggle loose to cause an error. Most of the time, this doesn't happen. If you get the lightning bolt in the top right, you just need to select it and it will reconnect your motors.
Where can I send you chocolate to???
Too kind but I’m still trying to eat the leftovers from Halloween LOL
