Touch the free-motion options icon (B) and select one of the three options. Note: Read about the different options on page 4:8. 2. Disengage the IDT™ system and attach the correct free-motion foot depending on which technique you have selected. A symbol of the foot for the selected setting is displayed at the top of the screen (C). 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). Tip!

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. Activate Needle down. 5.
