Redgate Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi I have an older Millie I think 2007 My question is Is there anyway of putting a switch on that turns the stitch regulator on and leaves it on instead of having to turn it on all the time Thanks Marlene in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 If you're stitching and want to leave the SR on while you stop with the needle down to advance the top or reposition a template-- with the SR on, depress the clutch and the push right blue button (the "go" button) at the same time to have the SR stay engaged. As noted, the needle should be down when you do this and it takes a bit of practice to co-ordinate it. The chirp will sound. When you're ready to stitch again, depress the clutch and "go" again and you're set to stitch some more. It eliminates the use of the left buttons and the SR is on the whole time.

ffq-lar Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 holy cow - i did not know this!!!! thank you!! Dawn posted this hint a while ago and I use it all the time. Especially if I'm stitching across a sashing or border and need to "rest" or take a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgate Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah I already new that I am doing lots and lots of straight lines around appliue and need to move across to the next bit so the needle down is not an option. I just want to know if a NEW switch can be put on so it can stay on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I knew the trick about holding down the clutch when you stop stitching to keep the SR on, but is there any way that the needle will remain in the down position when you do this? It was so much easier with my Lenni - at least when I stopped, the needle would be in the down position and the SR would remain on. If the stitching stops and the needle is not down, it's pretty tricky trying to move the ruler while keeping the machine perfectly still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
