G: To set up a Husqvarna Sapphire 875 for free-motion quilting, follow these steps:

1. Feed Dogs: Lower the feed dogs (use the feed dog drop switch).

2. Presser Foot: Attach a free-motion/darning foot compatible with your machine.

3. Stitch Setting: Select a straight stitch with a stitch length of 0.0 (the length setting is irrelevant since you control the movement).

4. Thread Tension: Start with the default tension and adjust as needed for balanced stitching between the top thread and the bobbin thread.

5. Speed: Set the machine to a medium or fast speed, depending on your comfort level. Use the foot pedal to control speed while moving the fabric.

6. Needle Position: Center position is typically used.

Practice on a scrap quilt sandwich to fine-tune the tension and get comfortable before working on your project.
