Free Motion Quilting Foot
Reduce the foot pressure and turn
the dial on the machine lowering the
feed dog for free motion quilting.
Note
If the foot is frequently used, be
•
sure to apply a small amount of
oil about once a month to the
area indicated by the arrows. (If
too much oil is applied, wipe off
the excess with a cloth.)
For best results when using
•
metallic or monofilament
threads for free motion quilting,
sew with a good quality thread,
set upper tension 1-2, and use
a metallic needle.
