Sewing Mode Use the edge guide to sew successive rows. Loosen the upper screw of presser foot holder and insert edge guide into the hole. Set the space as you desire and tighten the screw. Free-Motion For free-motion sewing lower the feed dogs on the back of the free arm. Attach the optional Open Toe FreeMotion foot. Move the fabric manually. Maintain a consistent speed and move the fabric in a smooth motion. You are creating the length of the stitch as you move the fabric. Note: When the feed dogs are dropped, the fabric is no longer fed by the machine. You must move the fabric. Free-Motion Stippling Free-motion stippling adds texture and interest to your quilt, while keeping the layers together. Free-motion stippling is done with the feed dogs lowered. You move the fabric manually to determine the stitch length. 1. Set your sewing machine for free-motion sewing with a straight stitch. 2. Attach the optional Open Toe Free-Motion foot. Disengage the IDT™ system and lower the feed dogs. 3. Begin by pin basting your quilt through all layers with safety pins, starting from the center of your quilt and working out. Place a pin every 6-8 inches (15-20 cm). Note: Practice stippling 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 also help keep stitches even. 4. Begin near the center of your quilt. Take one stitch and pull the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt. Take a few stitches right next to one another to lock the threads. 5. Plan a path for your stitching, then begin stitching your desired stipple pattern, moving the quilt as you go. The stitching should not cross over itself and should travel in a meandering motion. 34
