•Touch the Free-motion sewing icon.

•Thread your machine with a good quality cotton or synthetic thread. You can use the same thread for bobbin thread, or an embroidery weight bobbin thread.

•Hoop your fabric tight as a drum into a round embroidery hoop. You can use a wooden ring hoop wrapped with bias binding for a better grip.

•Select either the straight stitch or the zigzag. From now on, you control the stitch length. The movement of the hoop along with the sewing speed creates the stitch length. Sewing too slowly may cause small knots to appear on the reverse side of your work.

Important: Never engage the IDT when free-motion sewing.
