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

Free-motion quilting

With free-motion quilting, the feed dogs can be 
lowered (using the drop feed lever) so that the fabric 
can be moved freely in any direction.
The optional quilting foot is needed for free-motion 
quilting.

1

Remove the presser foot and the presser foot 
holder.

• Refer to “ Removing the presser foot holder”  

(page 37).

2

Align the quilting foot with the lower-left side 
of the presser bar.

The pin on the quilting foot should be 
positioned over the needle clamp screw.
