Brother 1300 manual Foot Quilting XA7255-001, Machine Set-Up, Materials Needed for Sample, July

Foot 17

Quilting

XA7255-001

Standard PQ foot used for free motion quilting.

Machine Set-Up:

Feed dogs down. Lower the foot pressure. There is no need to change other normal settings as you control stitch length as the sandwich is moved.

Materials Needed for Sample:

Poly/cotton quilting fabric, lightweight batting

General Sewing Directions:

Guide the work under the foot at a steady speed and movement.

Specific ULT Sample Directions:

Cut your sample sandwich at least twice the size

you need as small samples are hard to control. Temporary spray is good to hold the top/batting/bottom together. Move the fabric at a consistent pace coordinated with the speed you run your machine. The more you do free motion, the more even your stitches will become. If you use different colors or even variegated thread both top and bottom, you will

occasionally see the bobbin come up. Patterned quilt backing will help mask this. Many free motion quilters use their machines to “draw” allover designs, too.
