Echo Quilting Using the Free Motion Echo
Quilting Foot “E” (Included with Some
Models)
Sewing quilting lines at equal distances around a motif is
called echo quilting. The quilting lines, which appear as
ripples echoing away from the motif, are the
distinguishing characteristic of this quilting style. Use the
free motion echo quilting foot “E” for echo quilting. Using
the measurement on the presser foot as a guide, sew
around the motif at a fixed interval. We recommend
attaching the foot controller and sewing at a consistent
speed.
