SEWING THE STITCHES

Example: Changing the width

hWhen you are finished sewing, set the width control back to “OFF”.

■Free Motion Quilting

With free motion quilting, the feed dogs can be

lowered by pressing , so that the fabric can be

moved freely in any direction.

For free motion quilting, use free motion quilting foot “C” or free motion open toe quilting foot “O” depending on the stitch that is selected, and set the machine to free motion sewing mode. In this mode, the presser foot is raised to the necessary height for free motion sewing.

We recommend attaching the foot controller and sewing at a consistent speed. You can adjust the sewing speed with the speed control slide on the machine.

Using Free motion Quilting Foot “C”

Use the free motion quilting foot “C” with straight stitch needle plate for free motion sewing.

•When using free motion quilting foot “C”, be sure to use the straight stitch needle plate and sew with the needle in middle (center) needle position. If the needle is moved to any position other than the middle (center) needle position, the needle may break, which may result in injuries.

Memo

example, when sewing very stretchy fabric, so that it is easier to sew.
