Please Note: If you purchased your HQ Sweet Sixteen before May 2012, you will need to update your C-Pod and display. The update is free but you will need to return it to us. Please call us on 0121 702 2840 to discuss the details.

How it works.

TruStitch consists of two main parts, a wireless Controller and a Receive which is plugged in between the machine and the foot pedal.

The Receiver interprets the signal from the Controller and sends messages to the HQ Sweet Sixteen motor to regulate stitch length. It also acts as a charger for the Controller.

The Controller tracks the table top as you move it UNDER the quilt.

The quilter holds onto the Controller by placing her hand over the quilt and the Controller. As the quilter moves the quilt and Controller together, the stitch length is regulated.

Some quilters prefer not to hold the Controller with their hand. A Magnet can hold the Controller to the quilt for hands-free operation. An alternative method of keeping the Controller moving with the quilt (especially when quilting near the edge) is the Caddy.

It clamps easily onto the edge of the quilt and “rides” along, regulating as it goes.

Included in this package.

Controller: Advanced sensor that moves in harmony with the quilt to control stitch length.
Receiver: The receiver translates the signals from the controller to the machine to regulate stitch length.
Magnet: Optional-use tool for keeping the controller positioned on the quilt, freeing up your hands for certain techniques and methods.
Coaster: Attaches firmly to the edge of the quilt, allowing more flexibility for quilting small projects or quilt borders.
