UTILITY STITCHES
■ Free motion quilting
We recommend attaching the foot controller
and sewing at a consistent speed.
(For models equipped with the sewing speed
controller on the machine)
You can adjust the sewing speed with the
sewing speed controller on the machine.
• 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.
The quilting foot* is used for free motion
quilting with zigzag or decorative stitches or
for free motion quilting of straight lines on
fabric with an uneven thickness.
* Items sold separately, please contact your
authorized Brother dealer.
