Free-motion Quilting

The quilting stitch plate (optional accessory) and the free-motion quilting foot (optional accessory) are used for quilting work.

It is recommended to use the slide-on table. With free motion quilting, it is of advantage to quilt from the center outwards and to guide the fabric using smooth, round movements to form the design of your choice.

With stipple quilting, entire surfaces of the fabric are filled with quilt stitches. The single lines of stitching are rounded and never cross one another.

TIP

Quilting gloves with rubber nubs make it easier to guide the fabric.

    Prerequisite:

  1. The top layer, the batting and the backing are pinned together or basted.
  1. Fit the quilting stitch plate.
  2. Remove the presser foot and fit the free-motion quilting foot to the presser foot bar.
  3. Tighten the free-motion quilting foot with the screw.
  4. Set the stitch length 0.
  5. If required, adjust the upper thread tension.
  6. Press the foot control.
  7. Hold both hands close to the presser foot like an embroidery hoop to guide the fabric.
  8. If the thread is lying on top of the fabric, slow down the movement of the sewing project.
  9. If there are knots on the wrong side of the fabric, move the sewing project faster.
