Stitches will be sewn at the set stitch length in
response to the speed at which the fabric is
moved.
4 Release the foot controller or press the
“Start/Stop” button to stop sewing.
Sew hand-look quilting stitch patterns using the
threads recommended below:
Upper thread: Use transparent nylon thread or
lightweight thread that matches the color of the
fabric for this thread to appear invisible.
Bobbin thread: Use a color that contrasts with the
fabric for the stitch pattern to stand out.
• Before sewing, make sure that a presser foot
has been attached to the stitch regulator.
• Adjust the height of the stitch regulator presser
foot so that the fabric can be smoothly moved.
If the distance between the stitch regulator
sensor and the fabric is too large, the sensor
may not be able to accurately detect fabric
movement. In that case, lower the height of
the stitch regulator presser foot without
hindering fabric movement.
• When the needle is up, move the fabric slowly
and carefully. If the fabric is moved too quickly,
an alarm will sound.
• Do not rotate the fabric while sewing.
Otherwise, the stitch regulator sensor will not
be able to correctly detect fabric movement.
• In order to sew stitches with a uniform length,
move the fabric at a speed that does not cause
the alarm to sound. The alarm volume can be
adjusted in the settings screen.
• In order to sew stitches at the set stitch length,
move the fabric at least as much as the set
stitch length.
• With the needle stop position set to
(down), the needle remains lowered when
sewing stops.
When the foot controller is released after you
stop moving the fabric, or when the “Start/
Stop” button is pressed to finish sewing, an
alarm sounds, and then the needle is lowered.
• Touch [Memory] to save the current settings.
To retrieve the settings at a later time, touch
[Retrieve]. For details, refer to “Saving the
Utility Stitch Settings” on page 63.
Hand-look Quilting
• For most fabrics and threads, using a 90/14
needle will result in a clean finish.
• To bring up more of the bobbin thread,
increase the thread tension.
• S-03, S-04, S-05 are made up of several short
stitches.
