ABSTRACT:
An improved computerized hand-guided quilting device has a quilting table (100) with a translation device (20). The translation device has a cross carriage (30) movable longitudinally atop the table or frame, and a sewing carriage (50) movable transversely atop the cross carriage. These translations allow X-Y movement of a sewing head (56) fixedly positioned on the sewing carriage. Automatic translation of the cross carriage is accomplished when an actuator (174) mounted on the cross carriage is placed into an operative contact that effects the translation, and manual translation is effected by disengaging the operative contact, using a selective engaging/disengaging means (176). Similarly, automatic translation of the sewing carriage is accomplished when an actuator (74) mounted on the sewing carriage is placed into an operative contact that effects the translation, but manual translation is effected by disengaging the operative contact, using a selective engaging/disengaging means (76).
