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 (“Using the Foot 
Controller” on page 61 and /or “Using the Knee Lifter” on page 71). 
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.
The “P” or “Q” at the bottom of the key display indicates that these stitches are intended for (“Q”) quilting 
and (“P”) piecing.
