Quilting
124
Handlook quilt stitches are suitable for all fabrics and sewing projects which should look hand sewn. It is
recommended to use a monofilament thread as upper thread and an embroidery thread as bobbin thread.
The sewing speed should be moderate to prevent the monofilament from breaking. If required, the upper
thread tension and the balance can be adjusted to the sewing project and the desired quilt stitch.
Prerequisite:
• The Reverse pattern foot No. 1C is attached.
> Touch the icon «Quilt stitches».
> Select the Handlook quilt stitch No. or 1328, 1346, 1347, 1348 or 1350.
> If required, adjust the upper thread tension and the balance to the sewing project and the desired quilt
stitch.
> Press the foot control or the button «Start/Stop» to start the machine.
10.4 Guiding the quilt work freely
Quilt gloves with rubber fingertips (optional accessory) will help when guiding the fabric.
It is recommended to use the slide-on table and the Free Hand System. With free-motion quilting, it is of
advantage to quilt from the center outwards and to guide the fabric using smooth, round movements to
form the design of your choice. Free-motion quilting and darning are based on the same free-motion
principles.
With stipple quilting, entire surfaces of the fabric are filled with quilt stitches. The single lines of stitching are
rounded and never cross one another.
Prerequisite:
• The top layer, the batting and the backing are pinned together or basted.
• The feed dog is lowered.
• The Darning foot No. 9 (optional accessory) is attached.
> Touch the icon «Practical stitches».
– The Straight stitch No. 1 is selected automatically.
> Adjust the upper thread tension and the balance to the sewing project if necessary.
> Press the foot control or the button «Start/Stop» to start the machine.
> Hold both hands close to the presser foot like an embroidery hoop to guide the fabric.
> If the thread is lying on top of the fabric, slow down the movement.
