barbm Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Tanya, I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to calibrate, but there is a pattern in "Continuous Line" (I think) that is a cat and a ball. Is that what you are trying to do? Or are you trying to calibrate your screen? Could you possibly tell us or show us exactly what you were told to do?

corral31@telus.net Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 off to a bad start - sorry - trying to set my roll diameter reading from a document provided called "before sewing with Quilt path" so looking for a pre designed quilt layout called cat and ball and the document I am in possession of says it's here somewhere on the forum... Thanks, Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Tanya, found it for you!! Go up to the search box, click on the little gear and enter "Quilt Path Instructions" as the words to search for, and "Georgene" as the author. That should get you to her thread that has all sorts of wonderful information, including the "Cat and Ball" calibration posts. That thread was started in September 2014, and the calibration document is towards the bottom of her first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 We hear you, Tanya! We've all been there - and some of us can't seem to get OUT of there..... Be sure to join the QP Users' Group on Facebook - lots of help there, as well. Have fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corral31@telus.net Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi again, yes I am on the QP facebook group, thank you for that - I guess I should dig around there a bit more to see what I can find. played a tiny bit this afternoon but still very cautious of course as there is so much to learn. One thing that really tweaked my curiousity was the "quilt thickness" button???? no way jose, seriously? how does that work? Is QP truly capable of adjusting to the thickness or thinness of a quilt without adjusting the hopping foot? I will try it out but thought a technical answer would be very enlightening thanks again, Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Tanya, some of those "questions" or "options" are a holdover from a different version of QuiltMotion, which is just a small part of our Quilt Path. Pay no attention, for now. Learn how to maneuver through the basics, both with Quilt Path and yes, freehand, as well! Watch Angela Huffman's videos on YouTube and read Angela Hugli Clark's blog on Quilt Path - just those will keep you VERY busy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
