Topstitching quilting, 1/8 inch

Quilting
Sewing the quilt top, batting, and backing together is
called quilting. You can sew the quilt with the
compact dual feed foot to keep the quilt top, batting,
and backing from sliding. The compact dual feed
foot has a motorized belt that moves together with
the feed dogs in the needle plate during sewing.
For straight line quilting, use the compact dual feed
foot and the straight stitch needle plate. Always
select a straight stitch (middle needle position) when
using the straight stitch needle plate.
