Machine Quilting Tip: Needle Requirements
For general quilting, a size 16/100 needle will accommodate most threads and fabrics.
Heavier threads, such as top stitch and some decorative threads, require a larger needle
such as 18/110 or 20/125. Lofty batts and heavier fabrics such as denim, canvas, or densely
woven fabric may also require a larger needle.
Hopping Feet
Your machine comes with two hopping feet: a ruler foot (comes installed) and an open-toe foot. Use the
ruler foot for everyday quilting and ruler work, and use the open-toe foot when you need greater stitch
visibility (such as when you are micro quilting).
To change the hopping foot
1.
Remove the foot that is on the mount by
using the 2.5 mm Allen wrench to loosen the
mounting screw far enough that you can slide
the foot off of the mount.
2.
Slide the desired foot onto the mount. Note
that the opening on the side of the foot is lined
up with the screw hole. Push the foot up as far
as it will go.
NOTE: You may need to push up the presser
bar (see Left Side View, Detail A, item 18)
when changing the hopping foot.
3.
Fully tighten the screw with the 2.5 mm
Allen wrench.
