Getting Started To Sew; Turning A Corner; Using The Fabric Guide - Pfaff GrandQuilter Owner's Manual

Getting Started

Getting started to sew

Before you start to sew, try test
stitching with the same thread
and with the same type of
fabric.
1. Raise the presser foot and
place the fabric under the
foot.
2. Lower the needle into the
fabric.
3. Lower the presser foot and
pull the threads towards the
back.
4. Set the speed control slide
to slow until you get used
to the speed. Press down on
the foot control.
5. Gently guide the fabric
along the seam guide letting
the fabric feed by itself.
6. Check the sewing result and
adjust the needle thread
tension if needed.
Note: To lock the beginning of the
seam, sew a few stitches forward,
then sew a few stitches in reverse,
then sew forward again. You can
also pull the bobbin thread to bring
the needle thread to the wrong
side of the fabric. Tie the threads
together. Trim the remaining
threads.
