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*.
* Sold separately with some models.
Note
• Thread the needle manually when using the
walking foot, or attach the walking foot only after
threading the needle using the needle threader.
• When quilting, use a 90/14 home sewing
machine needle.
• The walking foot can only be used with straight
or zigzag stitch patterns. Do not sew reverse
stitches with the walking foot.
• When sewing with the walking foot, sew at a
speed between slow and medium.
• When using the walking foot, test sew on a scrap
piece of fabric that is to be used in project.
