QUILTING TIP: A size 16/100 needle will accommodate most threads and fabrics. Heavier
threads, such as top stitch and some decorative threads, require a larger needle such as 18/110
or 21/130. Lofty batting and heavier fabrics such as denim, canvas, or densely woven fabric may
also require a larger needle.
Hopping Feet
Your machine comes with two hopping feet: a ruler foot (comes installed) and an open-toe foot. Use the
ruler foot for everyday quilting and ruler work, and use the open-toe foot when you need greater stitch
visibility (such as when you are micro quilting).
To change the hopping foot
1. Turn off all power to the machine
2. Raise the needle and foot to their highest
position. Remove the foot that is on the mount
by using the 2.5mm hex wrench to loosen the
mounting screw far enough that you can slide
the foot off of the mount.
3. Slide the desired foot onto the mount. Note
that the opening on the side of the foot is lined
up with the screw. Push the foot up as far as it
will go.
4. Fully tighten the screw with the
2.5mm hex wrench.
