Recommended stitches for a handlook quilt
A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers of
fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between.
1.
Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and
backing.
2.
Thread the needle with an invisible (monofilament)
thread. Use needle size 90 and lightweight, soft
cotton (60 wt or lighter) thread in the bobbin.
3.
Select a quilt stitch and snap on the recommended
foot shown in the sewing recommendations view.
4.
Engage the IDT™ system.
5.
When you sew the stitch you should only see your
bobbin thread. You might need to adjust the thread
tension depending on which fabric, thread and
batting that is used. Make a few tests on a scrap
piece of the fabric you are going to sew and check
the tension.
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 Free-
Motion 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.
