Free Motion Quilting - Husqvarna Viking Eden Rose 250C Limited Edition User Manual

FREE MOTION QUILTING

Free Motion Floating
When sewing free motion at a low speed, the foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the stitch plate
while the stitch is being formed. When sewing at a high speed, the foot fl oats over the fabric while sewing. The feed teeth
must be lowered and the fabric is moved manually.
Most free motion sewing is stitched with a straight stitch or zig zag stitch. However, all stitches can be sewn in free motion
mode. The direction and speed with which you move the fabric will determine how the stitch will look.
Note: Free Motion Spring Action – If you are using the optional Free Motion Spring Action presser foot, set the machine in Free Motion
Spring Action mode. The "Drop Feed Teeth" recommendation will be activated. Lower the feed teeth. The setting remains when the machine is
turned off. A pop-up message reminds you of the setting when you turn on the machine. Close the pop-up message by pressing OK. For normal
sewing, turn off the Free Motion Spring Action mode in the SET menu.
The Free Motion Spring Action presser foot follows the up-and-down movement of the needle with the help of the
spring and the arm on the presser foot. The feed teeth must be lowered and the fabric is moved manually.
Tip: Use the optional Open Toe Free Motion Spring foot.
Free Motion Stippling
You will have to move the fabric manually.
1. Select NEEDLE UP/DOWN to put the
needle down.
2. Sew at a constant medium speed, moving the fabric
randomly. Try drawing squiggles with the needle as you
sew. Free motion stippling is usually a random wavy
stitching that should be fairly close together but not
crossing. The stitching should look like puzzle pieces.
Tip: Use the optional Open Toe Stippling Foot for better visibility
when free motion stippling.
Note: To set the machine to regular sewing mode go to SET Menu. Touch
OK to deselect Free Motion setting. Touch SET Menu to exit.
