Quick Ref Restart271 Gammill, Inc. | 2015 M-S-0001 - CreativeStudio 6.0 User Manual - Rev 00 271 | Page Quick Reference Sheets 5.16 Quick Ref Restart Feature: Restart Restarts are needed for a variety of reasons. Either the thread break sensor stops the machine or the machine is stopped by the quilter or an obstacle. 1A. Thread Break : If the machine stopped because it detected a thread break, the pop-up box offers an Auto Restart option, so press that button. The machine head moves to where CS detected the thread break. 1B. Manual Stop : If the machine was stopped for any other reason, click the Restart Quilting Icon. The sewing head goes back to the spot where it detected the ‘Stop ’ command. 2 . CS asks if you want to confirm or move the Restart Point. If the stitcher is close to the right spot, use Back and/or Forward to move the sewing head 7 stitches at a time until the sewing head is positioned properly. Press Quilt when ready, and continue to sew. 3. Because there is a delay between the thread breaking and the sensor stopping the machine, the Restart Point probably needs to be moved. Press “ PickNewPoint ” to release the sewing head so you can move it to a different spot. The new point can be identified using the stitcher or the computer screen. 3A. To find the restart point using the sewing head - move the machine until the needle is just above the point where you want to continue stitching. Press “Use This Pt ” on the keypad. CS moves to the closest stitch and waits for another response. If it looks good, Press Quilt and continue to sew. If not, try again by pressing “ Use This Pt ” until the right spot is found. 3B. To find the restart point using the computer screen - look at the image on the screen and find the crosshair mark - it is a long, skinny blue plus “+” sign. Zoom in and out using the roller on the mouse. Find the spot on the screen that corresponds to the restart point on the quilt, and click that spot with the mouse. The blue crosshair will move to this location on the screen and the stitcher will move to that location on the quilt. 4. When ready, press Quilt , and continue to sew.
