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.

Remove the presser foot and the presser foot holder.
• For details, refer to “Removing and attaching the
presser foot holder” in the “Basic operations”
section.

needle clamp screw.

e

f
Place one hand on each side of the presser foot, and
then evenly guide the fabric while sewing.
Note
• Thread the needle manually when using the
walking foot, or only attach the walking foot after
threading the needle using the needle threader.
• When sewing with the walking foot, sew at a
speed between slow and medium.
• When quilting, use a 90/14 home machine
needle.
• The walking foot can only be used with straight
or zigzag stitch patterns. Reverse stitches
cannot be sewn with the walking foot. Only
select straight or zigzag stitch patterns with
reinforcement stitches. For details, refer to
“Stitch Setting Chart” in the “Basic operations”
section.
• (For models equipped with Automatic Fabric
Sensor System)
When “Automatic Fabric Sensor System” in the
settings screen is set to “ON”, the thickness of the
fabric is automatically detected by the internal
sensor so the fabric can be fed smoothly for best
sewing results. For details on the automatic fabric
sensor system, refer to “Automatic Fabric Sensor
System (Automatic presser foot pressure)” in the
“Basic operations” section.

CAUTION
• Be sure to securely tighten the screws with the
screwdriver, otherwise the needle may touch
the presser foot, causing it to bend or break.
• Before starting to sew, slowly turn the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and
check that the needle does not touch the
presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot,
the needle may bend or break.
