SECTION IV - Quilting
Piecing Fabrics Together
Accuracy is the key when sewing together fabric pieces
for a quilt. Be sure to precisely cut your fabric pieces with
6.5 cm (1/4˝) seam allowances.
Select 1.
Attach scant 1/4˝ foot.
The black bar on the foot is a perfect 1/4˝ seam guide
from center needle position (3.5). Place fabric edges
(right sides together) under foot against the black guide
q
q and sew a perfect 1/4˝ seam. OR Use 4.5 needle
position for a scant 1/4˝ seam.

Quilt Stitch

The quilt stitch adds a three dimensional effect when
outlining designs.
Select 078.
Place monofilament (clear invisible) thread in the needle
and 60 weight cotton thread on the bobbin (color
matches quilt back).
You might need to increase needle tension to 6.
Use a washable fabric marker to draw design lines on
quilt top. Place batting (wadding) between quilt top and
backing fabric. Sew over design lines.

Quilt Guide

The quilt guide is helpful when sewing parallel, evenly
spaced rows of stitching.
Select 1.
Loosen the quilt guide holding screw q, slide the quilt
q guide in the opening w until the desired width is set and
tighten the screw.
w
Use a washable marker to draw the first line for stitching.
Sew over line. When sewing subsequent rows of
stitching, the quilt guide will rest on the previous row of
stitching.
