Handlook quilting
A quilt usually consists of three layers, two layers
of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched
between.
1. Baste the completed quilt top to the batting and
backing.
2. Thread the needle with an invisible
(monoÀ lament) thread. Use contrasting or
matching rayon or cotton thread in the bobbin.
3. Snap on the recommended foot shown in the
sewing recommendations view.
4. Engage the IDT.
5. When you sew the stitch you should only see
your bobbin thread. Increase the needle tension
as needed to produce the desired effect.

Blindhem stitch
The blindhem stitch number 16 is used to make
invisible hems on skirts, trousers and home
decorating. Use foot number 3 with IDT.
1. Finish the edge of the hem.
2. Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong
side.
3. Fold the hem back on itself so approximately
3/8” (1 cm) of the À nished edge extends
beyond the fold. The wrong side of your
project should now be facing up.
4. Place the fabric under the presser foot so that
the fold runs along edge guide A.
5. When the needle swings into the fold it should
catch a small amount of fabric. If the stitches
are visible on the right side, adjust edge guide
A by turning adjusting screw B until the stitch
that catches the hem just barely shows.
