Accessones ana rieeua,s Free-motion Quilt Foot The tree-motion quilt foot in combination with the straight stitch is of your well quilt suited for free-motion quilting. The three layers are guided manually during free-motion quilting. The faster you sew, the more consistent and uniform your stitches will become. Try this technique out first on a test piece. Free-motion quilting is possible in both curved and straight lines. For free-motion, straight-line quilting (center needle position), with a spacing of 1)4 inch (6.35 mm), use the four red markings on the corners of the foot as a guide. • Loosen the screw on the back of the presser foot holder. • Press the free-motion quilt foot gently together with thumb and index finger. • Guide the pin of the free-motion quilt foot into the hole of the presser foot holder as tar as it will go. The long fork of the free-motion quilt foot must be positioned behind the needle clamp. Tighten the screw. • Bring the free motion quilt foot into the darning position (see page 63) and lower the teed dog (see page 34). Tip: Free-motion embroidery can also be completed using the free-motion quilt foot. Stitch. 1 Stitch length: 2.5 hnsion: 3-5 Bias Binder Binding with bias tape is a very easy method of giving fabric edges a smooth and neat appearance. For this you need unfolded bias tape about 1" (24 mm) wide. • Remove the presser foot and holder. Attach the bias binder. • Cut the beginning of the bias tape at a diagonal. • Feed the tape into the scroll of the binder and pull out to the back. • Adjust the binder and/or the needle position so that the needle pierces the fabric approximately 1/16' (1 - 1.5 mm) from the folded edge of the bias tape. • Stitch about 1" (2.5 cm) along the bias tape. • Insert the edge of the fabric to be bound between the bias tape edges into the slot of the binder. The bias tape will enclose the raw edge automatically during sewing. Tip: You can obtain an additional decorative effect by using a zigzag or fancy stitch. Stitch: optional Tension: 3-5 105
