CAUTION
• With free-motion quilting, control the feeding
speed of the fabric to match the sewing speed.
If the fabric is moved faster than the sewing
speed, the needle may break or other damage
may result.
Memo
• When starting to sew, the internal sensor
detects the thickness of the fabric, and the
quilting foot is raised to the height specified
in the machine settings screen. Press
to display “FREE MOTION FOOT
HEIGHT” on P. 1 of the settings screen (see
page 16). Press or to select the
height that the quilting foot is raised above
the fabric. Increase the setting by pressing
, for example, when sewing very soft
fabric, so that it is easier to sew.
• In order to sew with a balanced tension, it
may be necessary to adjust the upper thread
tension (see page 50). Test with a sample
piece of quilting fabric.
