To prevent accidents, do not change the needle position. Changing needle position could cause the needle to hit the presser foot, which could break the needle or damage the machine.

A.JOINING THE PIECES OF FABRIC

Join the pieces of fabric using Pattern No. 1 with a seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm)

B.QUILTING

Sew three layers of material (topper, batting, backing). Use quilting bar to sew successive rows. Insert quilting bar into the hole of presser foot holder and set the space as you desire.

C.HAND LOOK QUILTING STITCH (NO. 8) Use invisible nylon sewing thread or very lightweight thread that matches the fabric on top. Place thread that contrasts to the color of the fabric on the bobbin. Set the upper tension to maximum or near maximum. When you sew, bobbin thread will pull to the top and give the appearance of a traditional hand quilting stitch.
