Hand Look Quilting Stitch; Automatic Bar-Tack And Darning - Singer C440 Manuel D'instructions

Hand Look Quilting Stitch (No. 160)
Use invisible nylon sewing thread or very lightweight thread
that matches or blends well with the fabric on top. Place thread
that contrasts to the color of the fabric on the bobbin. Set the
upper tension to maximum or near maximum. When you sew,
bobbin thread will pull to the top and give the appearance of
a traditional hand quilting stitch. Adjust the thread tension and
stitch length as desired for the look you want to achieve for
your project.
