Darning and free motion sewing is used for
repairing holes or torn areas in cloth. Also the foot
allows you to do monograms and stipple quilting.
The darning plate covers the feed dog to prevent
the feed dogs from moving the fabric and allows
you to freely move the fabric.

Using the Quarter Inch Foot with Guide
q
Draw the desired pattern on the fabric with
temporary markings. Set the fabric under the
presser foot and guide the fabric with your hands.
Move the quilt 1/8” or less per stitch.
To create a 1/4” seam, put 2 pieces of fabric with
right sides together.
Place the patchwork pieces under the foot so that
the edge of the fabric matches the guide on the
presser foot. To assure precise seaming be careful
not to push excess fabric towards the guide other
than 1/4”.
