1. Disengage the IDT™
system.
2. Loosen the presser foot ankle screw completely and remove the ankle.
3. Fit the Free-motion Echo Quilting foot around the presser bar; attach it with the screw included in the
package.
4. Thread your machine.
5. Select a straight stitch.
6. Set your PFAFF®
sewing machine to Sensormatic free-motion 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.
7. Bring the bobbin thread to the top by taking one stitch. Hold on to both threads and sew a few stitches
in place to begin.
8. 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.
9. Stitch around the quilting motif, appliqué or pattern on the fabric, maintaining a uniform distance to
outline the shape.
10. 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.
11. Repeat as many times as you want to create the desired effect.
Note: When sewing in Sensormatic free-motion 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.
