Quilting
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
quilting guide.
Note
zWhen sewing with the walking foot, sew at a
speed between slow and medium.
zWhen quilting, use a 90/14 home sewing
machine needle.
zThe walking foot can only be used with
straight or zigzag stitch patterns. Reverse
stitches cannot be sewn with the walking
foot. Only select straight or zigzag stitch
patterns with reinforcement stitches. For
details, refer to "Stitch Setting Chart"(page
72).

●Be sure to securely tighten the screw with
the screwdriver, otherwise the needle
may touch the presser foot, causing it to
bend or break.
●Before starting to sew, slowly turn the
handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If
the needle hits the presser foot, the
needle may bend or break.
