SEWING THE STITCHES

Quilting

You can make beautiful quilts quickly and easily with this machine. When making a quilt, you will find it
convenient to use the knee lifter and foot controller to free your hands for other tasks (see "Using the Foot
Controller" on page 39 and/or see "Using the Knee Lifter" on page 40).
Patterns with "P" or "Q" in the lower-right corner of the key are intended for quilting.

piecing. When cutting pieces for quilt blocks, make
sure the seam allowance is 6.5 mm (approx.
