Abstract

A multi-needle quilting machine (10) and method uses two separately moveable bridges (21, 22) having selectively operable chain-stitching pairs. Either the material of the bridges or both may be moved relative to the frame. Control schemes are provided to quilt continuous patterns, discrete patterns, linked multiple patterns, 360 degree patterns, or closely spaced patterns, preferably using a single drive servo motor for each bridge with the needle and looper drives phased relative to each other through a differential transmission. The needles (25) and loopers (26) can be driven out of phase, which is particularly useful in starting stitching sequences reliably. The parameters that define different products are used by a machine controller as a basis for deriving different quilting process steps, such as tack stitching sequences, thread wipe cycles and paths, thread pull-off distances and tension, and the need to sew additional lines to stabilize the material layers.
