Quilting

Sandwiching batting between the top and bottom 
layers of fabric is called “quilting”. Quilts can easily 
be sewn using the walking foot and the quilting 
guide.

1

Baste the fabric to be quilted.

2

Attach the walking foot.

• For details, refer to “Using the walking foot” 

(page 40).

3

Select a stitch.

• For details, refer to “Selecting stitching” 

(page 68).

4

Place one hand on each side of the presser 
foot, and then evenly stretch the fabric while 
sewing.

Note

Thread the needle manually when using the 
walking foot, or only attach the walking foot 
after threading the needle using the needle 
threader.

When sewing with the walking foot, sew at 
a speed between slow and medium.

When quilting, use a 90/14 home sewing 
machine needle.

The walking foot can only be used with 
straight or zigzag stitch patterns. Reverse 
stitches cannot be sewn with the walking 
foot. Only select straight or zigzag stitch 
patterns with reinforcement stitches. For 
details, refer to “Stitch Settings” on 
page 128.

Using the optional quilting guide

Use the quilting guide to sew parallel stitches that 
are equally spaced.

1

Insert the stem of the quilter into the hole at 
the rear of the walking foot or presser foot 
holder.

…

Walking foot

…

Presser foot holder

2

Adjust the stem of the quilter so that the quilt 
guide aligns with the seam that has already 
been sewn.

Note

The optional quilting guide is available 
through your brother retailer.
