S 5 S S 5 -I S S I:i 5 I6 Free-motion quilt foot The free-motion quilt foot in combination with the straight stitch is well suited for free-motion quilting. The three layers of your quilt 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 far 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 feed dog (see page 34). Tip: Free-motion embroidery can also be completed using the free-motion quilt foot. Stitch: 1 Stitch length: 25 Tension: 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 Li 87 I

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.
