The alignment function is used for matching the quilt design (the image
on the screen) with the quilt top.

It is called up automatically when a quilt design is loaded, or you can call 
it by touching the [Realign] button on the Design/Sew Quilt screen.

You will use the 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. On this screen you need to 
select the reference point by touching any point of the quilt patterns
or a highlighted "snap point" on the screen. 

If the computer is mounted on the machine, the actual position of the
needle is shown with green crosshairs. You can use this feature to
find a convenient reference point on an already quilted pattern. 

You can zoom in/out or pan the picture to find the desired reference 
point.

Your finger should touch the screen within ¼" from the desired point to 
get it selected. The snap points have a selection priority, if you touch
a point on a pattern within ¼" from a snap point, the snap point will be
selected instead of the point on the pattern. If you want to select the 
pattern point instead, zoom in close enough to get the desired point out
of the vicinity of the snap point.

When a reference point is selected, it will be marked by a target symbol, 
and the [Continue] button will appear. You can keep changing the 
reference point until you touch the [Continue] button.

<b>Rotate Quilt CW
<b>Rotate Quilt CCW
This screen also gives you the option to rotate the quilt clockwise (CW) 
or counter-clockwise (CCW). You can use this feature to design borders 
and to match the quilt top if you want to quilt the borders on a rotated 
quilt.

<b>Resize Quilt
Select this option if you want to change the size of the whole quilt.

<b>Manual Mode
If you entered the alignment after advancing the quilt, you may want to 
baste down the edges before starting the next pass. Selecting Manual
Mode will lift the motors to allow you to move the machine free of drag.
You can also use the Manual Mode if you want to add manual stitching
to the quilt.
