Quilting
Sandwiching batting between the top and bottom
layers of fabric is called “quilting”. Quilts can easily
be sewn using the walking foot and the quilting
guide.
1
Baste the fabric to be quilted.
2
Attach the walking foot.
• For details, refer to “Using the walking foot”
(page 40).
3
Select a stitch.
• For details, refer to “Selecting stitching”
(page 68).
4
Place one hand on each side of the presser
foot, and then evenly stretch the fabric while
sewing.
Note
● Thread the needle manually when using the
walking foot, or only attach the walking foot
after threading the needle using the needle
threader.
● When sewing with the walking foot, sew at
a speed between slow and medium.
● When quilting, use a 90/14 home sewing
machine needle.
● The walking foot can only be used with
straight or zigzag stitch patterns. Reverse
stitches cannot be sewn with the walking
foot. Only select straight or zigzag stitch
patterns with reinforcement stitches. For
details, refer to “Stitch Settings” on
page 128.
■ Using the optional quilting guide
Use the quilting guide to sew parallel stitches that
are equally spaced.
1
Insert the stem of the quilter into the hole at
the rear of the walking foot or presser foot
holder.

guide aligns with the seam that has already

through your brother retailer.
