You can make beautiful quilts quickly and easily with this machine. When making a quilt, you will find it
convenient to use the knee lifter and foot controller to free your hands for other tasks (see "Using the Foot
Controller" on page 41 and/or see "Using the Knee Lifter" on page 42).
Patterns with "P" or "Q" in the lower-right corner of the key are intended for quilting.
