Quilting CONTENTS You can make beautiful, quilts quickly and easily with this machine. When making a quilt, you will find it convenient to use the knee lifter and foot controller (see pages 1-6, 1-7) to free your hands for other tasks. If there is a "P" or "Q" at the bottom of the key display, the indicated stitch pattern is intended for quilting. Piecing straight stitch "RIGHT" Straight stitch for piecing. The default stitch length is 1.6 mm (1/16 inch). Default stitch width (needle position) is 5.5 mm (7/32 inch). The stitch is set short to keep the stitching from coming loose during construction of the quilt block. This is a 6.5 mm (1/4 inch) seam allowance when placing the edge of the fabric along the right edge of the presser foot (see Illustration A on page 3-29). 1 - 2 - 3 - Piecing straight stitch "LEFT" Straight stitch for piecing.
