Free Motion Floating
Activate free motion floating to set the machine in free
motion floating mode for floating feet, e.g. the R-Foot. The
feed teeth will lower automatically.
When sewing at low speed the presser foot will raise and
lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the needle plate
while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed, the presser
foot floats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric must be
moved manually.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down
with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser
foot height will reduce the space between the presser foot
and the fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The
fabric must still move freely under the presser foot.
To adjust the presser foot height in free motion floating
mode, touch the presser foot height control to make
adjustments.
The free motion floating foot icon will be
shown in the sewing recommendations.
Note: If free motion floating is activated, do not use a spring action foot,
as this might damage the presser foot.
Note: Activate stitch width safety if the presser foot requires it.
Tip: There are optional free motion floating feet that can be purchased
at your local authorized retailer.
