Open Toe Walking Foot
Great for keeping quilt layers from shifting when sewing.
How To Attach Open Toe Walking Foot
Press the "Up/Down Needle" key until the needle is in an
up position. Raise the presser foot.
Turn OFF power switch. Loosen thumbscrew and remove
shank. Place the walking foot on the presser bar with the
lever over the needle clamp screw; tighten thumbscrew.
Turn ON power switch.
Select 1.
Set stitch length 2.5 – 3.5. Set foot pressure dial between
2 and 3.
Sewing Quilt Layers
Pin quilt layers togther (backing, batting/wading and quilt
top). Place quilt layers under foot. Lower open toe walking
foot. Sew as close as possible to the seam lines for
"Stitch in the Ditch" quilting.
Optional: Attach Quilt Guide
Snap quilt guide down into groove on back of open toe
walking foot. Slide the quilt guide in the opening until the
desired width between the stitching rows is set. Pin quilt
layers together. Follow marking and sewing instructions
described on the page 59.
Patchwork
A fun method of decorating your quilt (often called "Crazy
Quilting") is to sew a patchwork stitch over the opened
seam.
Select 1.
Sew a straight stitch seam and press seam allowance
open.
Select a patchwork stitch: 085 – 100.
Sew with stitching centered over the seam.
French Knots
Why spend time sewing French Knots by hand?
Select 073.
Tighten needle tension 5-8.
Place fabric under foot and sew one French Knot. Lift up
presser foot, move fabric, lower presser foot and sew
next French Knot.
NOTE: If you want to sew a row of evenly spaced
French Knots, you must program straight stitches
after the French Knot. See Combining a
Sequence on page 68.
