The Free Motion Echo Quilting Foot is designed to give you more control when free-motion quilting. The large base ensures good surface contact with the fabric and provides better control of the stitching.

The transparent base allows for 360° visibility.

Vertical, horizontal, and circular markings on the foot make it easy to follow a continuous line quilting pattern or design on the fabric. Sew straight lines or follow patterns with rounded edges in any direction.

• Loosen the presser foot ankle screw completely and remove the ankle. Place the Free Motion Echo Quilting Foot around the presser bar; attach it with the screw.
• Thread your machine.
• Select a straight stitch.
• Set your sewing machine to Free-Motion Floating mode. The feed dogs will drop automatically.
  Note: When the feed dogs are dropped, the fabric is no longer fed by the machine.
  You must move the fabric.
• Bring the bobbin thread to the top by taking one stitch. Hold onto both threads and sew a few stitches in place to begin.
• Maintain a consistent speed and move the fabric in a smooth motion. You are creating the length of the stitch as you move the fabric.
• Stitch around the quilting motif, appliqué, or pattern on the fabric, maintaining a uniform distance to outline the shape.
• Stitch a second row, maintaining a uniform distance from the first row. Use the red markings on the foot as a guide to keep your spacing even.
• Repeat as many times as you want to create the desired effect.
  Note: When sewing in Free Motion Floating mode at a low speed the presser foot will raise and lower with each stitch to hold the fabric on the stitch plate while the stitch is being performed. At a higher speed, the presser foot floats over the fabric while sewing.
