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
optional quilting guide.
Note
• The walking foot can only be used with straight or
zigzag stitch patterns. Do not sew reverse stitches
with the walking foot.
• When using the walking foot, try a test sewing
on a scrap piece of fabric that is to be used in
project.
Models equipped with a needle threader
• Thread the needle manually when using the
walking foot, or only attach the walking foot after
threading the needle using the needle threader.
