4. Pro-Stitcher® Overview

Pro-Stitcher runs on a touch screen computer with the Microsoft® Windows operating system. Because 

Pro-Stitcher runs in a Windows environment, you may notice things such as the Windows desktop. If you’re 

unfamiliar with the Windows operating system or computers in general, you’ll benefit by taking a class or 

finding other ways to learn more about the basics of Windows.

To maintain the integrity of the Pro-Stitcher software, it is best to avoid using the Pro-Stitcher computer as 

a typical desktop or tablet computer. Connecting to the Internet without the direction or tools provided by 

Baby Lock may result in Windows attempting to perform updates that could potentially be incompatible 

with the Pro-Stitcher software. It also may lead to unintentional exposure to viruses and other malware that 

may compromise the integrity of the Pro-Stitcher system or lead to other problems that may not be covered 

by the warranty. 

To get the most of your Pro-Stitcher system, Baby Lock recommends using the Pro-Stitcher computer only 

as directed to run the Pro-Stitcher software, the Art & Stitch software, and other software provided by or 

recommended by Baby Lock.

Enable or disable the carriage motors

Pro-Stitcher communicates with the quilting machine and the carriage motors. 

The Enable Motors button (top-right corner of the screen) enables you to switch between locking the 

motors in position and enabling the machine to be moved around. If this button becomes gray with a 

lightning bolt, Pro-Stitcher is not communicating with the carriage motors. Press the button to reestablish 

communications with the motors. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual for further help.

To enable or disable the carriage motors

•  Press the Enable Motors button to lock the motors in position to keep the quilting machine from 

moving (as long as the levers on the carriage are engaged in the lower position at the same time). 

•  Press Disable Motors to disable the Pro-Stitcher motors.
