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.

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

a speed between slow and medium.

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.
