■ Free Motion Quilting
With free motion quilting, the feed dogs can be
lowered by touching
fabric can be moved freely in any direction.
For free motion quilting, use free motion quilting
foot "C" or free motion open toe quilting foot "O"
depending on the stitch that is selected, and set the
machine to free motion sewing mode. In this mode,
the presser foot is raised to the necessary height for
free motion sewing.
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 and cause injury.
Memo
• When starting to sew, the internal sensor
detects the thickness of the fabric, and the
quilting foot is raised to the height specified in
the machine settings screen. Touch
display [Free Motion Foot Height] of the
settings screen. Touch the number to select
the height that the quilting foot is raised above
the fabric. Increase the setting, for example,
when sewing very stretchy fabric, so that it is
easier to sew.
• In order to sew with a balanced tension, it
may be necessary to adjust the upper thread
tension. Test with a sample piece of fabric
that is similar to your chosen fabric.
• Do not be discouraged with your initial results.
The technique requires practice.
