Quilting

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

Note

●

Only use the walking foot with straight or 
zigzag stitches. Do not use other patterns. 
Reverse stitches cannot be sewn with the 
walking foot.

foot holder” (page 26).

c

Hook the connecting fork of the walking foot 
onto the needle clamp screw, lower the 
presser foot lever, and then use the presser 
foot holder screw to attach the walking foot 
to the presser bar.

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

Note

●

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

■

Using the optional quilting guide

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

a

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

b

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

●

Use the screwdriver to tighten the screw 
securely. If the screw is loose, the needle may 
strike the presser foot and cause injury.

●

Be sure to turn the handwheel toward the 
front of the machine to check that the needle 
does not strike the presser foot. If the needle 
strikes the presser foot, injury may result.
