Quilting - Brother NX-2000 Operation Manual

Quilting

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 39 and/or see "Using the Knee Lifter" on page 40).
The 30 quilting stitches Q-01 through Q-30 and the utility stitches with "P" or "Q" indicated on their key are useful
for quilting.
