I have been trying to adjust my Brother SE400 so I can learn how to do free motion quilting. It sounds absolutely terrible and I cannot make a rounded corner - everything is very jagged. I've read everything in the manual (about 2 pages) on free motion quilting and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I've dropped the feed dogs and attached the embroidery foot and tried several different quilting stitches. Any suggestions will be tremendously appreciated.
Hi Dora,
I was looking at the same thing today. The Brother SE400 User Guide said to use an optional free-motion open toe quilting foot "O" when making free-motion quilting. I wonder if that would work better than the embroidery foot. Did you ever get it to work?
