Foot 17
Quilting
XA7255-001
Standard PQ foot used for free motion quilting.
Machine Set-Up:
Feed dogs down. Lower the foot pressure. There is
no need to change other normal settings as you
control stitch length as the sandwich is moved.
Materials Needed for Sample:
Poly/cotton quilting fabric, lightweight batting
General Sewing Directions:
Guide the work under the foot at a steady speed and
movement.
Specific ULT Sample Directions:
Cut your sample sandwich at least twice the size
you need as small samples are hard to control.
Temporary spray is good to hold the top/batting/bottom together. Move the fabric at a consistent pace
coordinated with the speed you run your machine. The more you do free motion, the more even your
stitches will become. If you use different colors or even variegated thread both top and bottom, you will
occasionally see the bobbin come up. Patterned quilt
backing will help mask this. Many free motion quilters
use their machines to “draw” allover designs, too.
