Free Motion Spring Action

hold the fabric on the needle plate while the stitch is being
formed. When sewing, you need to move the fabric manually.
Sensor Q-Foot is recommended for all free motion sewing
except when using specific techniques or accessories that do
not support the use of Sensor Q-Foot.
The free motion spring foot icon will be
shown in the sewing recommendations.
Tip: There is an optional open toe free motion spring foot that can be
purchased at your local authorized retailer.
Free Motion Ruler Foot (Optional)
Activate free motion ruler foot to set the machine in free
motion mode for the optional free motion ruler foot. The
feed teeth will lower automatically.
