The stitch and its uses
Quilting is stitching two layers of fabric together
with batting in between to add dimension and
warmth.
You can use quilting on entire garments or parts
of garments, such as yokes, pockets, cuffs and
collars. It is also popular for table fashions, in
addition to straight stitch quilting, you can quiff
with decorative stitches or stitch pattern
combinations,

Here's how
To do quilting successfully, follow these simple steps:
1. Loosen the quilter screw on the back of the presser foot as shown,
2. Slide the quilting guide (D) into the opening under the screw to the width between lines of quilting stitches you desire.
3. Tighten the screw.
4. Sew the first row of stitching.
5. Sew other rows, guiding the quilting guide over the previous row of stitching.
NOTE: When you are quilting large areas, tack the layers together with the basting stitch.
Then quilt from the center out.
Another quilting variation:
instead of quilting with rows of straight stitches, you can bartack your quilt at regular intervals.
Set up the machine as if you were going to sew a button (see p. 62). Position your fabric and bartack.
