Freehand Quilting Foot #29/29C allows you to create your own unique quilting patterns.
Because this foot is used with the feed dog lowered, you control the movement of the fabric!
• Drop the feed dog by pressing the button on the lower right side of the artista 200.
• Attach Freemotion Quilting Foot #29 or #29C to the machine.
• Select stitch #325, the quilting straight stitch.
• Engage the Needle Stop Down function.
• Sandwich the batting between the top fabric and the backing. Pin or baste in place.
• Draw two lines on the top of your "quilt sandwich," dividing it into four quarters.
• Using your hands to move the fabric and running the machine at a uniform speed, quilt each
section of the sample as shown in the illustration. Use this exercise to experiment with different
quilting styles.
TIPS: - lower the presser foot so the needle thread won't be under any tension
- when starting, pull the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt
- RELAX! find a comfortable sewing speed and rhythm
- most important - don't forget to BREATHE!
• Trim and mount sample.
