Sandwiching batting between the top and bottom layers of fabric is called “quilting”. Quilts can easily be sewn using the optional walking foot and the optional quilting guide.
Note
● Thread the needle manually when using the walking foot, or only attach the walking foot after threading the needle using the needle threader.
● When quilting, use a 90/14 home sewing machine needle.
● When sewing with the walking foot, sew at a speed between slow and medium.
