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).
Begin by basting your quilt through all layers, starting from
the center of your quilt and working out.
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.
