Note
Before beginning to do free motion embroidery, follow
the directions on page 27 for pulling up the bobbin
thread. Grasp the upper and lower threads and sew a
few stitches to lock threads. Continue the process of
free motion embroidery.
Note
Free motion open toe quilting foot “O” can also be
used with stitches used with free motion foot “C” (Q-01
or 1-30). We recommend using free motion quilting
foot “O” with free motion sewing of fabrics of uneven
thicknesses.
Memo
In order to sew with a balanced tension, it may be
necessary to adjust the upper thread tension (see
page 43). Test with a sample piece of quilting fabric.

Note
Make sure that the quilting foot is not slanted.
