Does it handle multiple quilted layers? I'm making purses and attaching the quilted handle to the quilted bag is an issue for me.

For the price, look at the Brother CS6000i. That one has all the quilting feet and the extension table. And a lot less money. Hope this helps.

I have always used the washable--so i could machine wash my quilts (most are used not just displayed or hung)...my belief is that the other wool batting was not suitable for washing......

I purchased this iron for quilting but so far have only ironed clothes with it. My previous irons were inexpensive

I have been working with this machine for about a week, and really like it for what it can do. However, it does have a bit of a difficulty getting over thick portions of the fabric.....where two seams intersect, etc. For this reason, I would assume that it might have a difficult time with thicker fabrics. I've learned that when I must sew over the intersection of seams, I must go very slowly. Then, it's pretty good.

I haven't tried that, but i would think it would. I have driven it through 3 layers of fabric and it could certainly handle more. I am more than pleased with the product.

I had the same problem when I first got mine. You just have to pull pretty hard on the loop (purse handle), and then unwind it. It loosens up after a few uses. Hope that helps.

I folded it in quarters, and its too large and it is is quilted/padded, so that also adds some room, making zippering tough.you could cut it down . It has a binding around it, so you would have to sew or bind the open edge.

I have used it to sew several thickness of outdoor plastic mesh fabric for fence panels with no problem using heavy duty outdoor thread. It was four layers with a layer of interface. It should accommodate 2-3 layers of denim or canvas.

I haven't had any problems, however, I'm very careful when sewing with fabrics such as heavy denim, using extra caution when sewing over the multi-layered seams. The machine does not skip stitches and I am very happy with the quality of the stitching.

Yes. I really pack my bag and have to use the handles sometimes while using stairs. The handles have held up for over 2 years. No issues. This is a great bag.

Yes great for purses with long/short handles and back packs. However please keep in mind the purses are all empty. In addition there is a carry - on leather bag along with the purses also empty.

I've only used it for quilting and it will cut through several thicknesses of cotton fabric. I just tried it on naugahyde ....not exactly heavy duty leather, but it cut right through it.

Hi, The pressure you apply may be the problem. I do not go fast, slow and heavy handed does the trick. I use mine for fleece fabric and only use the cutter with one layer. If I was using a fabric such as cotton, I know it would go through 2 layers. Hope this helps. Joannie �

I've managed to throw it through three layers. The only issue is the second lamination sheet doesn't exactly stick to the previous sheet, so you know how you have to leave a border around the paper or whatever you're laminating so the sheets don't separate? You have to do that for each layer of laminate. so it could wind up looking bulky and have a really thick border. I hope that makes sense!

I don't know about the batting or how thick it is, but, I use mine on fabric w/stabilizer between two layers (machine embroidered baby booties and similar garments). A couple of times had to do it twice, but, overall it has worked well for me.

It will hold a sewing machine. I don't know about all your quilting equipment. I scrapbook and use it for retreats. It handles beautifully and folds up very nice. Everyone wants one when they see it. It takes me about four trips to get all my supplies into the workspace, but I bring all my scrapbook items including my large Cricut cutting machine. Hope that helps.

I have wondered about the same thing. On my quilt I am just using a primitive/running stitch with thicker thread, but it hasn't seemed to affect the other stitches.
