Operation Manual

A
quilt
consists
of
two
layers
of
fabric
with
a
layer
of
batting sandwiched
between.
Many
geometric
pieces
of
fabric
are
joined
together
in
continually
changing
patterns
to
form
the
top
layer of
the
quilt
This
is tacked
to
a
middle
layer
of
polyester
or
cotton
batting
and
a
backing
layer.
The 1/4
inch quilt
and
patchwork
foot
is
parti
cularly
suitable
for
joining
your
pieces
of
fabric.
The
clearance
between
the
needle
and
the
outer
edge
of
the
foot
is
1
/4
(6.3
mm) and
between
the
needle and
the
inner
edge
of
the
foot
1/8”
(3.1
5
mm).

of
the
foot
In
traditional
quilting
the
three
layers
of
fabric
are
joined
with
small
hand
stitches.
This
hand-
stitched
look
can
be
accomplished
faster
and
easier
with
the
sewing
machine
(program
11).
—
Use
invisible
(monofilament)
thread
in
the
needle.
Use
a
contrast
or
complementary
polyester
or
cotton
thread
in the
bobbin.
—
Set
the
needle thread
tension
to
7-9.
Loosen
the
bobbin
thread
tension
approximately
1/4
turn
counterclockwise
to
allow
the
needle
thread
to
pull
the
bobbin
thread
to
the
top
side
of
your
work.
You
may
find
it beneficial
to
purchase
a
second
bobbin
case
(available
from
your
PFAFF
dealer)
for
working
with
specialty
techniques
and
threads.
—
When
you
sew
the
stitch
on
the
three
layers
of
your
quilt
you
should
only
see
the
triple
stitch
of
your
bobbin
thread.
The
intermediate
stitch
disappears
and
thus
produces
a hand-
stitched
appearance.
Adjust
your
needle
and
bobbin
thread
tensions
as
needed
to
pro
duce
the
desired
effect
