Sewing techniques
Handlook quilting
A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers
of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched
between.
1.
Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and
backing.
2.
Thread the needle with an invisible
matching rayon or cotton thread in the bobbin.
3.
Snap on the recommended foot shown in the
sewing recommendations view.
Engage the IDT
4.
™
system.
5.
When you sew the stitch you should only see
your bobbin thread. Increase the needle tension
as needed to produce the desired effect.
Note: Use needle size 90 and lightweight, soft cotton
bobbin thread when sewing handlook quilt stitches. You
might need to adjust the thread tension depending on
which fabric, thread and batting that are used. Make a
few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to
sew and check the tension.

Darning
Darning a small hole or a tear before it becomes
larger can save a garment. Choose a lightweight
thread in a color as close to your garment as
possible.
1.
Place your garment with stabilizer in position
under the presser foot.
2.
Select a darning stitch.
3.
Start sewing above the hole and over it.
4.
Once you have sewn across the hole, press the
reverse button to set the length of the stitch.
Your sewing machine will automatically
complete the stitch.
5.
By default, the machine will be set to repeat
the same size darning square, just continue
sewing. The repeat icon will be highlighted,
indicating that repeat is activated. Press the F1
button to deactivate repeat.
