Free motion quilting
We recommend attaching the foot controller and sewing at a
consistent speed. You can adjust the sewing speed with the
speed control slide on the machine.
CAUTION
• With free motion quilting, control the feeding
speed of the fabric to match the sewing speed.
If the fabric is moved faster than the sewing
speed, the needle may break or other damage
may result.
Memo
• On models equipped with the free motion sewing
mode, the presser foot can be adjusted to the
best height for free motion sewing. For details,
refer to "Sewing with free motion mode" in the
"Basic operations" section.
