SEWING THE STITCHES

■ Free-motion Quilting

For free-motion quilting, use free-motion quilting

foot “C” and 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 feed dogs are automatically lowered so the

fabric can be moved freely, and 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.

Using free-motion quilting foot “C”

The free-motion quilting foot “C” is used for free-

motion sewing using a straight stitch. Be sure to

select a straight stitch with the middle (center)

needle position or .

CAUTION

• With free-motion quilting, control the feeding speed

of the fabric to match the sewing speed. If the fabric

is moved faster than the sewing speed, the needle

may break or other damage may result.

• When using free-motion quilting foot “C”, be sure to

select one of the patterns with a center needle

position (Q-01 or 1-30). Using any other stitch may

result in the needle striking the quilting foot, causing

damage or injuries.

Memo

• When starting to sew, the internal sensor detects the

thickness of the fabric, and the quilting foot is raised

to the height specified in the machine settings

screen. Press , and then press or

to change the value beside “FREE MOTION

FOOT HEIGHT” on P. 2 of machine settings screen

(see page 22). Increase the height that the quilting

foot is raised, for example, when sewing highly

elastic fabric, so that it is easier to sew.

• In order to sew with a balanced tension, it may be

necessary to adjust the upper thread tension (see

page 45). Test with a sample piece of quilting fabric.

Note

Make sure that the quilting foot is not slanted.

CAUTION

• Be sure to securely tighten the screws with the

screwdriver. Otherwise, the needle may touch the

quilting foot, causing it to bend or break.
