B. Quilting
Sew three layers of material (topper, batting,
backing).
Use quilting bar to sew successive rows.
Insert quilting bar into the hole of presser foot holder
and set the space as you desire.
C. Hand Look Quilting Stitch (No. 8)
Use invisible nylon sewing thread or very lightweight
thread that matches the fabric on top.
Place thread that contrasts to the color of the fabric
on the bobbin.
Set the upper tension to maximum or near
maximum.
When you sew, bobbin thread will pull to the top and
give the appearance of a traditional hand quilting
stitch.

with the fabric without breaking. Good for knit
fabrics as well as joining durable fabrics such as
denims.
