Free Motion Technique
When touching the Free Motion Technique icon a pop-up
will appear allowing you to choose between two options:
Free Motion Floating and Free Motion Spring Action.
Free Motion Floating
Activate to set the machine in Free Motion Floating mode.
You can use presser foot R or an optional foot. The feed
teeth will lower automatically.
When sewing free motion at low speed the presser foot
will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on
the needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher
speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric while sewing.
The fabric must be moved manually.
To adjust the presser foot height in Free Motion Floating
mode, touch the + and - icon to make adjustments.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down
with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser
foot height will reduce the space between the presser foot
and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The
fabric must still move freely under the presser foot.
Note: If Free Motion Floating is activated, do not use any Spring
action foot, as this might damage the presser foot. Activate Stitch
Width Safety if the presser foot requires that.
Free Motion Spring Action
Select Free Motion Spring Action to activate the Free
motion spring action mode. The feed teeth will lower
automatically. A spring action foot will raise and lower with
each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate while the
stitch is being formed. The fabric must be moved manually.
If you are using the optional Sensor Q-foot activate Free
Motion Spring Action and Stitch Width Safety.
Stitch Re-Start
When you stop sewing in the middle of a stitch, touch
Stitch Re-Start to begin sewing at the beginning of the
stitch. Any stitch adjustments made, will be kept.
Tapering
When touching the tapering icon a popup appears allowing
you to choose how your stitch should start and finish.
Tapering is only available when choosing a stitch in the
J-menu. Read more about tapering on page 4:16.
