Here'sHow

To do quilting successfully, foltow these simple steps:

2.Slide the quilting guide (D) into the opening under the screw to the w_dth between lines of quilting stitches you desire.

3.Tighten the screw.

4.Sew the first row of stitching.

5.Sew other rows, guiding the quilting guide over the prevlous row of stitching.

NOTE: When you are quitting large areas, tack the layers together with the basting stitch. Then quilt from the center out.

Another quilting variation:

Instead of qui_ting with rows of straight stitches, you can bartack your quilt at regular intervals+

Set up the machine as if you were go'rag to sew a button (see p. 35). Position your fabric and bartack.
