Computerized crosshatch quilting around applique blocks - tutorial with Handi Quilter Pro-Stitcher

SO SORRY ABOUT THE CRACKLY AUDIO IN THE INTRO OF THE VIDEO. MOST OF IT HAS A NORMAL SOUND.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use the Pro-Stitcher for computerized crosshatch quilting around custom shapes (applique blocks in my example. The techniques shown to create and travel around custom areas on your quilt could be used with any edge-to-edge quilting design and with any custom block shapes.

I'm working on a vintage quilt top with hand-pieced Friendship Ring blocks that are appliqued onto a white background. I'm using the 22"x14" Retrace Edge-to-Edge crosshatch quilting design by Three Sisters Fabric: https://threesistersfabric.com/crossh...

I'm working on my Handi Quilter Avante machine with the Pro-Stitcher and So Fine 50wt quilting thread in color #401 (Snow).
