Quilting
Sewing together the quilt top, batting, and backing is
called quilting. You can sew the quilt with the
walking foot to keep the quilt top, batting, and
backing from sliding. The walking foot has a set of
feed dogs that move together with the feed dogs in
the needle plate during sewing.
For straight line quilting, use the walking foot and
the straight stitch needle plate. Always select a

the straight stitch needle plate.
