Lol....I could have used this video last week. I always seem to have these issues in the evening when nobody is available to help. Now I've got your excellent video saved for next time. Thank you!
Thank you so much Angie. You are so clear and concise with your explanations. I will be watching more of your tutorials. Happy Quilting!
Thanks!! I needed help and you are the answer to my prayers!! I am learning!!!!
Omg this really helped me. This is what I was stuck on. My brain didn’t understand the process and you explained great for me to understand it 😊
Oh thank you so much for this video, so very helpful
So glad to find you, appreciate your tutorials, they are excellent, thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for watching!
This is great stuff! I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for doing these!!!
You are wonderful!!! I was working on my second quilt since getting the ProStitcher and my power went out. I was towards the end of the fifth row. It took two tries and watching you about five times, and then it clicked. I went back t0 the beginning of the fifth row, new start and stop, reposition and then I did my other stop and start where it actually needed to be. I never would have figured it out without your clear directions. THANK YOU!!!
So glad it clicked!!!! You are welcome! Happy Quilting!
Excellent video! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for this video. I was always worried what to do if I couldn’t finish quilting a quilt before I needed to shut down so I wouldn’t start one unless I knew I could finish it all in one day without stopping. You don’t know how much I needed this video. 😊. Can’t wait for the next one.
Great video Angie.
Thank you!
Great job explaining the process Angie!
Thank you so much for this video. It's been life changing for me! I'm not new to long arm quilting but am new to computerized long arm quilting. Learning about the quilting area is amazing. How I missed learning about that before now, I'll never know. I've also had a problem with the motors and you've solved that one for me, too!
Oh good!!! Thank you so much for watching Martha!!
Happy Quilting!
I guess I need to watch your other videos. I haven't made a second space when I restart. However it seems to be OK.
I didn't quite understand when you are ready to run but you can't pull up bobbin yet and you turn "pull up auto" back on, you say you hold the end of the bobbin thred and again about 6 inches away, then slide it uder the foot so that the bobbin thread will come up.
I thought the bobbin thread was not up, so how do you hold the end of it and then slide it under the foot to pull up the bobbin? I am a little confused. Did you mean to hold the end of the top thred to strt that process? Thanks so much. Excellent video.
Would like to have a step by step paper copy. Getting old and can’t remember everything😂
Hello! Can you send an email to info@QuiltingConnection I do have the written instructions for if you need to shut down, but not the motor error part. I can at least send you that part!
Angie, would you please make a video showing how you start basting a quilt? Basting the top of the quilt and down the sides. Thank you!
Sure! I can do that!
Thank you
Great video. Could you explain the uses, other than what was shown here, of what the quilting space accomplishes?
Hello! The only think I use the Quilting space for is lining up my rows and basting the side edges. I’m not really sure what else it would help with. :)
can you do a video on when you get to end of row how to advance to next row that won't fit in throat space. every time I get to end of row, I get confused and mess everything up. I have an Infinity and can do two rows, then I have to roll up and I get lost. this video helps so much, but a direct video I could play every time would be awesome!!!! I have watched this video 4 times already!!
Yes! I do a drag and drop. See if this video helps you. Thank you for watching!!

I had a motor error in the middle of the design. Had to reconnect motors. But now my cross hairs are far from the design. I’ve watched the video twice but still didn’t get an answer of middle of design.
Hi there I was wondering I have an Avante and I do not have a button for quilting space like you do. Is this only for your machine or is this in a upgrade. It looks so much easier doing it your way. I am sure I have gone grey a lot earlier than I should be. Only joking. Love you video. thanks
Hello! Are you currently using the Premium version of Pro? (Does your screen look like mine or is it white and blue?)
If it does look like my screen, then you just need to update to version 537 you can find that on ProStitcher.com I do have a video for how to update as well.
Once you are updated then you will see the Quilting Space option.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for watching!!!
I noticed your baseline icon was not grayed out. How necessary is it to baseline at this stage? Thanks
We need help
Trying to change out a motor. How do we get it off.
Are you taking about the physical motor on your carriage? As a dealer we have changed them out for our customer. I would recommend calling tech at HQ. 877-697-8458 option 2 they are open M-F 8-5 mountain time.
What difference does it make if you’re stitching row 2, 4 or 6 if you are stitching The same row over and over again with the exception of the top row which was cropped does it really matter?
It does not matter if you did a basic layout. You can reuse any row except the 1st cropped one. If you do a wrap layout then the all rows are different so you have to know which row you were on when restarting. Hope that make sense!
How do u get the motor error corrected. Not lining up to get ur Michener to proceed from the motor error.
Hi Kimberly
I’m not sure what you mean…
Motor errors can be fixed by clicking the lightening bolt in the upper right corner or by restarting the Pro. Either way you will need to line up the pattern again before quilting.
@@angiesanswers91 I don’t get a lighting bolt once I hit proceed it jumps back to main screen. I just purchased this and I haven’t quoted anything yet. But if I do get it so it works I will make sure I do take that step. TY
@@kimberlywoods8821 sounds great!! Congrats on your purchase. There is a lot to learn!! Just take it one step at a time!
You don't have to baseline? I thought you always had to do that.
Hi Lydia, for this video I am opening a pattern that has already been saved and cropped so there is no need to baseline.
When you are creating the pattern and after a crop is when you need to baseline. I didn’t make any changes to the pattern other than the position on the screen to match where I had quilted the previous row. Hope that helps!
I don't even know what you're talking about. I watched this video to find out how to fix a motor error???
I’m sorry you’re having trouble. Do you have a Handi Quilter and Pro-Stitcher?
