Quilting
You can make beautiful, quilts quickly and easily with this machine. When making a quilt, you
will find it convenient to use the knee lifter and foot controller (see pages 1-6, 1-7) to free your
hands for other tasks.
If there is a “P” or “Q” at the bottom of the key display, the
indicated stitch pattern is intended for quilting.
