Loosen the quilter screw 1 on the back of the presser foot holder as shown. Slide the quilting bar w into the opening under the screw to the width of quilting stitches you desire. 1 Screw 2 Quilter bar 3 Measurement lines 1 2 3 Sewing on Heavy Fabrics The black button on foot A will lock the foot in a horizontal position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot.
