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
(“Using the Multi-Function Foot Controller (Only
for supplied models)” on page 83 and /or “Using
the Knee Lifter” on page 96).
The 30 quilting stitches Q-01 through Q-30 and
the utility stitches with “P” or “Q” indicated on
their key are useful for quilting.
The “P” or “Q” at the bottom of the key display
indicates that these stitches are intended for (“Q”)
quilting and (“P”) piecing.
• When using the side cutter, sew
between low and mid-speed and do
not touch the knives or operation
lever of the side cutter while sewing
to avoid equipment damage or
injury.

Note
• If the width has been adjusted, rotate the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise).
Check that the needle does not touch the
side cutter. If the needle touches the side
cutter, it might cause the needle to break.
Memo
• The fabric will not be cut if the whole fabric
is simply spread out underneath the presser
foot guide plate. Set the fabric as explained
in step
h
from the previous section, and
then start sewing.
• One layer of 13 oz. denim can be cut.
• Clean the side cutter after use to avoid
having dust and scraps of thread build up in
the cutter area.
• Add a small amount of oil as required to the
cutting edge of the cutter.
