Float to stitch on LCD control panel

Question: How do I float to a specific stitch in a design?


Using the LCD Controller:

    1. Load design as normal.
    2. You must have at least one stitch sewn in the design for the float command to work.
    3. If you have sewn at least one stitch go to # 8, if not go to #4.
    4. Turn all of the heads on the machine off by pressing the Head On/Off Switch on the Thread Tension Unit.
    5. Press the START button.
    6. Hesitate for approximately eight seconds then press the STOP button. For this example that took me to stitch 57.
    7. Turn all of the heads on the machine back on by pressing the Head On/Off Switch.
    8. For this example lets pretend we have a 4807-stitch design and we need to get to stitch number 1968.
    9. Press the FLOAT button (F3).
    10. Press the +1000 button (F2).
    11. Press the +100 button (F1) nine times. This got me to stitch 1957.
    12. Press and release the START button until you get to 1968.
    13. If during the course of pressing START to progress through the design you happened to go beyond to number of stitches you intended, press the STOP button to reverse the same amount of stitches. Watch the Stitch Info screen for details.
    14. Turn all of the heads on the machine back on by pressing the Head On/Off Switch on the Thread Tension Unit.
