When touching the Free-Motion Technique icon a pop-up
will appear allowing you to choose between two options: Free
Motion Floating and Free Motion Spring Action.
free Motion floating
Activate to set the machine in Free Motion Floating mode for
presser foot R. The feed teeth will lower automatically.
When sewing Free Motion at low speed the presser foot will
raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the
needle plate while the stitch is being formed. At higher speed,
the presser foot floats over the fabric while sewing. The fabric
must be moved manually.
Skipped stitches can occur if your fabric moves up and down
with the needle as you are stitching. Lowering the presser foot
height will reduce the space between the presser foot and the
fabric and eliminate the skipped stitches.
Note: Be careful not to reduce the presser foot height too much. The
fabric must still move freely under the presser foot.
To adjust the presser foot height in Free Motion Floating
mode, touch the Presser Foot height control to make
adjustments.
free Motion spring action
Select Free Motion Spring Action to activate the Free Motion
Spring Action mode. The feed teeth will lower automatically.
A Spring Action foot will raise and lower with each stitch to
hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being
formed. The fabric must be moved manually.
Always use Sensor Q-foot when selecting Free Motion Spring
Action.
Note: If Free Motion Floating is activated, do not use any Spring
Action foot, as this might damage the presser foot. Activate Stitch
Width Safety if the presser foot requires that.
Note: The Open Toe Free Motion Spring foot is optional and can be
purchased at your local authorized dealer.
