Video - Example on how to use the Pfaff Free-Motion Open Toe Quilting Foot

The video shows the regular free-motion embroidery foot, and how wonderful it is for free-motion sewing and quilting. This closed toe-foot has been replaced with an open-toe type, which has an extra-large opening cut out in the front to give you an optimal view of your free-motion sewing and quilting while being used.

Fitting & using the Pfaff free-motion foot

1. Disengage the IDT.
2. Carefully loosen the small silver screw on the back of the presser foot holder until the attaching hole is accessible.
3. Squeeze the presser foot gently together (which lowers arm) and guide the pin of the foot into the hole of the presser foot holder as far as it will go. Make sure the clear needle bar arm is above the needle clamp.
4. Tighten the small silver screw at the rear of the foot holder.
5. Lower the Open-Toe Free-motion Foot into the free-motion/ darning position by either selecting the free-motion icon on the touch screen of your machine or manually setting the presser foot lifter in the free-motion position.
6. Lower the feed dogs.
7. Select a straight stitch or a zigzag stitch.
8. Keeping an even speed, manually move your fabric smoothly with no sudden movements. Practice this technique.
   
   Remember, because the feed dogs are lowered, you must move the fabric manually. For even stitches, move your fabric in a smooth, even motion.
