This example shows 3 repeats and 2 rows that were nested vertically by -.5. There
is a gap on one side border and an overlap on the other which need to be  adjusted
.
3.  . Select all the patterns together 
  before adjusting the size and position. This
prevents the individual patterns from becoming separated from the whole row. If the
pattern doesnt fit exactly, let it extend past the outer boundary. The excess can be
trimmed off before stitching.

9.  Click OK
 when ready to quilt. If multiple patterns were moved into the boundary,
they will stitch in the order they were moved. At the end of the quilting sequence, you
will be prompted to pull up the bobbin thread and click OK. It doesnt matter how the
bobbin thread is pulled up, secured or trimmed. Just be sure to click OK because it
completes this process. 
Optional final step: After the background patterns are stitched, some people like to do
an outline...

4.5.6 Background Fillers using Fill
The Fill option delivers a result similar to the background fillers using Trim Inside,

stitch the background down behind a quilting pattern, as shown in the previous
example....

4.6 Restart
Restarts are needed for a variety of reasons: 
* The thread break sensor stops the machine.
* The quilter presses the Stop button.
* The machine stops because it hit an obstacle.

Feature: Restart (when a thread break has been detected)

4.6.2 Manual Stops and Restarts
Feature: Restart (when a manual stop occurred).  
Manual Stops and Restarts  are easier to do. 
Tip:  For people who can hear when the bobbin needs to be changed, this is very
useful. When it sounds like it is time to change the bobbin, watch the stitching until
it gets to a place where knots will be hidden, and press Stop. The machine stops
instantly, and the sewing head can be moved to the side of the quilt and the bobbin
can be...
