Quilting
Sewing the quilt top, batting, and backing together is
called quilting. You can sew the quilt with the dual
feed foot to keep the quilt top, batting, and backing
from sliding. The 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 dual feed foot and
the straight stitch needle plate. Always select a
straight stitch (middle needle position) when using
the straight stitch needle plate.

Memo
• Using a straight stitch (middle needle
position) makes it easier to sew smoothly
(see page 114).
• In the case Q-01(center, at width 3.5 mm) is
selected, if the guideline marker is set at
10.0 mm (3.5 mm plus 6.5 mm, close to 1/4
inch), you can sew piecing by referring to
the guideline marker.
Memo
• Sew at slow to medium speed.
• Always check to be sure that your quilting
surface is securely basted before beginning
to sew. Specialized machine quilt needles
and threads are also available for machine
quilting.
