<title>Quilt Design Alignment
The alignment function is used for matching the screen image with 
the quilt top.

It is called up automatically when a new quilt design is loaded, and 

you can call it by touching the                     button in the Edit/Sew Quilt

menu.

You will use realignment after advancing the quilt, when a new 
reference point should be selected and matched with the position 
of the needle. To simplify the quilt advancing process, the computer 
sets the reference point at the last stitch of a previously quilted 
pattern.

The alignment process consists of two steps. First, you need to select
the reference point by touching a highlighted "snap point" on the
screen. You can zoom in/out or pan the picture to find the desired 
reference point.

Your finger should touch the screen within 1/4" from the desired point
to get it selected.
 
<b>If you used the zoom function, don't forget to touch the 
<b>"Select a Snap Point" button to go back to the point selection.

When a reference point is selected, it will be highlighted, and the 

                    button will appear. You can reposition the reference

point or accept it by touching this button.


With the second step you match the selected reference point with the
actual needle position. The brakes of the motors will be released to
allow you to move the sewing arm over the quilt. Move the needle to 
the location of the reference point and touch the large "OK" button
to have it accepted.


Touching the            button will recall the previous alignment.

The alignment is mandatory after loading a quilt, so when you touch 

the            button, it will take you back to the Main Menu.
