Using free motion Open Toe Quilting Foot “O”
The free motion open toe quilting foot “O” is used
for free motion quilting with zigzag or decorative
stitches or for free motion quilting of straight lines on
fabric with an uneven thickness. Various stitches
can be sewn using free motion open toe quilting foot
“O”. For details on the stitches that can be used,
refer to “STITCH SETTING CHART” on page 210.

Note
• Free motion open toe quilting foot “O” can
also be used with the straight stitch needle
plate. We recommend using free motion
open toe quilting foot “O” with free motion
sewing of fabrics of uneven thicknesses.
• When using the straight stitch needle plate,
all straight stitches become middle needle
position stitches. You cannot change the
needle position using the L/R Shift.
Memo
• Normally, the feed dogs are raised for
regular sewing.
• Do not be discouraged with your initial
results. The technique requires practice.
Memo
• The standard needle plate must be used if
zigzag or decorative stitch patterns are
selected.
• In order to sew with a balanced tension, it
may be necessary to adjust the upper
thread tension (page 87). Test with a sample
piece of quilting fabric.
