stitch needle plate for free motion sewing.
Free motion quilting foot "C"
CAUTION
• When using free motion quilting foot "C", be
sure to use the straight stitch needle plate and
sew with the needle in middle (center) needle
position. If the needle is moved to any position
other than the middle (center) needle position,
the needle may break, which may result in
injuries.
Memo
• When starting to sew, the internal sensor
detects the thickness of the fabric, and the
quilting foot is raised to the height specified
in the machine settings screen. Press
to display "Free Motion Foot
Height" of the settings screen. Press
to select the height that the quilting foot
is raised above the fabric. Increase the
setting by pressing
sewing very stretchy fabric, so that it is
easier to sew.
• In order to sew with a balanced tension, it
may be necessary to adjust the upper
thread tension. Test with a sample piece of
fabric that is similar to your chosen fabric.
