Crosshairs
The intersecon of the horizontal and vercal crosshairs represent the posion of the machine’s needle. By
default, the Follow buon isn’t selected and the crosshairs move when you move the machine. This means
that the design remains staonary on the screen, but the crosshairs move.
If you select Follow, the crosshairs remain staonary in the middle of the display. As you move the
machine, the design moves rather than the crosshairs.
Machine Quilting Tip: When to use Follow
Select Follow when you want to ensure that the crosshairs remain in view when you have
zoomed a design. This saves you from having to use Pan to nd the crosshairs. It is also
helpful to enable Follow when you stch a wide design because you can both zoom in on
the design and always see what is being stched on the screen.
Pro-Stcher automacally turns o Follow aer you select a new design.
