Quilting
You can make beautiful quilts quickly and easily with this machine. When making a quilt, you will find it
convenient to use the knee lifter and foot controller to free your hands for other tasks (see “Using the Foot
Controller” on page 45 and /or see “Using the Knee Lifter” on page 53).
If there is a “P” or “Q” at the bottom of the key display, the indicated stitch is intended for quilting.
