sheri williams - rewatch around 10.25 minutes in the video. You will see the arrow with an underline that has the light blue background. This means the alignment feature has been selected. You will use the up and down arrow to select which design in the border will have alignment stitches added. Once the right hand Design was selected, I chose the two positions where I wanted the stitches.
Terry your knowledge and sharing is wonderful. I am trying to print out my manuals because I have difficulty reading directions on the screen, then trying to remember even though it is like 10 seconds later. Your visuals are step by step so clear for me. I can pause you and do the step on my Lumi. I don’t forget to turn back on so you dont get left in the compurt. lol😘
Wonderful video! I don't have this machine *yet*, but I'm watching videos to learn before I get it. Just a question - when it looked like the fabric wasn't hooped straight, do you have a rotate (by 1 degree increments) to shift the design if necessary, rather than rehooping?
Leah Geary - I owned the hoop that clamps and it does make it easy to unclamp and move the fabric. I gave that hoop to my DIL when I gave her my Quattro. You will still have to align everything. That is why I always draw a Center line horizontally or vertically depending on the direction I am going. If I was stitching a large piece of fabric, I would use a longer hoop. If you are working with a ready made garment, a smaller hoop is generally easier to use.
Thanks for this video! Very helpful for a newbie with the Luminaire.
good job Terry, this is reaching my sewing brain.
What about using design center or design snap with the stellaire to align the border? Is this possible?
This will help a lot when adding a border to clothing to keep it aligned.
I have used this technique on a border and it works great. Give it a try. Love our machines.
the last minute of creating the rectangle marker? Is there a vid on how to do that? Thank you

Where did you get your plastic grids? I would like them!
Roberta Thompson - I still have my Dream Machine which came with the grids. Your Dealer may be able to order them separately.

Beth H - you can rotate in 1 degree and .01 degree increments.
Would this be easier using a continuous hoop? I have one but haven't used it yet.
