 CAUTION

• With free motion quilting, control the feeding 

speed of the fabric to match the sewing speed. 
If the fabric is moved faster than the sewing 
speed, the needle may break or other damage 
may result.

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” on 2/7 of the settings screen (see 

page 22). Press 

 or 

 to select the 

height that the quilting foot is raised above 
the fabric. Increase the setting by pressing 

, for example, when sewing very soft 

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 (see page 67). Test with a sample 
piece of quilting fabric.

 CAUTION

• Be sure to securely tighten the screws with the 

included screwdriver. Otherwise, the needle 
may touch the quilting foot, causing it to bend 
or break.
