Free Motion Quilting
Free motion stippling. Free motion with circular
motions.
Free motion quilting not only keeps the top, batting and
backing together, but it also adds texture and interest to your
quilt.
There are several techniques to use when free motion
quilting. Decorate your quilt as you like, only your
imagination sets the limits. Two free motion techniques are
stippling and circles.
Free motion stippling is typically a tightly and evenly spaced
meandering stitch line. When stippling, draw squiggles with
the needle as you sew. Another technique is to make circular
motions on the fabric as you sew creating a stone shaped
pattern.
Open Toe Free Motion Spring Foot (optional accessory, part number
4130376-46).
Free motion quilting is done with the feed teeth lowered.
You move the fabric manually to determine the stitch length.
When free motion quilting, use the Open Toe Free Motion
Spring Foot (optional accessory, part number 4130376-46) or
the included Embroidery/Darning Foot U.
Begin by basting your quilt through all layers, starting from
the center of your quilt and working out.
Note: When free motion sewing with more than 4mm stitch width,
replace the short needle clamp screw with the long needle clamp screw
found in the included accessories.
1. Attach the Open Toe Free Motion Spring Foot and lower
the feed teeth. Select needle stop up/down to put the
needle in down position.
2. Sew at a constant medium speed, moving the fabric at a
consistent speed, this will help to keep the stitches even.
The length of the stitch is created as you move the fabric.
Tip: Practice free motion sewing on scraps of the fabric and batting from
your quilt. It is important to move your hands at the same speed as the
needle to prevent stitches that are too long or too short. Maintaining a
consistent speed while free-motion sewing will keep stitches even.
