apart to ‘‘tie’’ the quilt sample.
Use the Edge/Quilt ing guide for quilt ing with wide
seam al low anc es, for top stitch ing, or when chan nel
quilting. Slide the guide into the back of the ankle.
Adjust from side to side to the correct po si tion, and
tighten the screw.
Hand-look Quilting
Use stitch E102 to imitate a hand-look quilting stitch.
When sewing the hand-look quilting stitch, the result
depends on what fabric, bat ting and thread you are
using. The thread tension is set au to mat i cal ly for
sew ing a quilt using cotton fabric, cotton batting and
Sulky 40 weight Rayon thread in the bobbin and
Sulky invisible thread on top. When sewing a quilt
using other fabrics/battings/threads, be sure to try
the stitch on a sam ple fi rst. Set the thread tension in
as need ed for your project.
Stitch E
123 is used when you want to sew appliqués
with a hand-look touch. Thread with dec o ra tive
thread to see the stitch, invisible for a stitch that is
barely visible, or black thread for a “folk art” look.
