Intellistitch Stitch Regulator
The IntelliStitch I/S Turbo CL Stitch Regulator is a
sophisticated, electronic component built into your machine
at manufacture, or it can be added at a later time. However, it
is an actual Stitch Regulator - meaning when in Stitch
Regulator mode, it calculates with the speed of the machine to
provide even stitches per inch. In addition to actual stitches
per inch, it offers 2 basting modes, a stipple mode, variable
speed control, needle up and needle down positioner, single
stitch, and a laser light control. Best of all, the features are at
your fingertips as the Control Boxes are on both the front and
back of the machine.
Features:
Basting Stitch Capability of Both 1" and 1/2" "Firing Stitch" -
What this means is that if you have the stitch set to one stitch per
inch for basting, a stitch will be fired and then the needle will return to
the up position and wait there until you have moved the machine for
1" in any direction. Compare this to a speed controlled machine
where your needle is in the fabric for half of the time, and out of the
fabric for half the time. When basting in a speed controlled situation,
you risk needle deflection and actually tearing of the fabric. This may
happen if you move too quickly and the needle is still down in the
fabric while you move. This feature allows you to baste quilts, even
just the edges on a normal quilt and they are basted at nearly perfect
1/2" or 1" intervals. When basting a quilt for a hand quilter, these
perfect stitches are even more impressive.
Multiple Stitch Settings - The I/S stitch regulated side of the dial
has settings for 1,2,6,8,10,12 stitches per inch, and Stipple, which is
approximately 16 stitches per inch. The stipple is designed for
microstippling. These stitches are also made using I/S's trademark
firing stitch. When running the machine at slow to moderate speeds,
it is recommended you use the Minimal Effort method of moving your
machine. No need to manhandle your machine! Holding the
machine with thumb and finger of each hand, and moving gently
around your designs and in and out of points will result in the best
quality stitches. When you are accustomed to running your machine
at higher speeds, the Turbo portion of I/S kicks into gear. When
moving your machine faster than 2" per second in stitch regulated
mode, the machine hits a "coasting mode" that allows you to ping
pong in and out of points without experiencing a long stitch.
Precision Quilting Mode - Mode in which the stitches are fired with
only 60% of the motor's capacity, resulting in a gentler firing stitch for
slower detail work such as SID and outline stitching.
No Drag Constant Speed - Perhaps you want to baste a quilt at
even longer intervals than the 1" or 1/2" basting stitch. In this mode,
your machine will fire 1 stitch per second to 10 stitches per second
with a firing stitch (with the needle resting in the up position), virtually
eliminating needle deflection. This means that if you move your
machine 2" per second, your basting would be that distance. On the
other hand, if you only moved it a minimal distance, you would have
very short stitches (and on up to 10 stitches per second).
Motion Detection Constant Speed - In this mode, you have the
same constant speed capabilities you currently have with your
machine, only with the added bonus of your machine stitching only
when it is being moved. Once the machine is armed, your machine
will not fire a stitch until the sensors detect movement. When you
come to a stop, the machine will stop stitching until it again detects
motion. If you fail to move the machine in 8 seconds, the machine
will time-out and disarm. This feature is easily enabled and disabled
with a toggle at the time of turning your machine on.
Single Stitch - Allows you to stitch one stitch at a time.
Needle Up and Needle Down - Allows you to position the needle
in the up or down position.
Manual Speed Control - In this mode you can speed the machine
up or slow it down manually. Disengages the stitch regulator.
