Did anyone use this machine for quilting?

I just started a quilt. I bought one of the free-motion darning feet and dropped the feed dogs. It takes a little practice, but looks good so far.

I've made several quilts with this machine. There was no problem stitching over multiple seams when machine quilting or through layers of quilt top, batting, backing and binding when finishing the edges. I find it dependable and easy to use.

Barbara....I have used a regular sewing achine for years, and I would not recommend anyone to purchase this contraption,..difficult to use, and broke after several attempts....a good idea that failed.

Sorry, haven't tries yet but have used to mend and make large pillows. Maybe i am uncoordinated but I find it challenging to hold the machine and keep the fabric straight--takes practice!

No, but I was making a Quilt for Christmas and half way through the printing process the System stopped working. I had to pay almost $80 for Cartridges to get it working to finish! I do not know enough about this system of Printing to figure out how to correct the issue. If you have used this kind of ink system before you may understand it better than I!

I agree with a previous response from a fellow quilter. I like the recessed area. In order to enclose the entire opening, we used a piece of the foam that came in the box to fill in the space between my machine and the edge of the opening. Works great. I love it!

I purchased one and use it occasionally. It has a good magnet and since I have an older Viking machine, which is metal; it does hold well. Since my sewing is predominately quilting using a 1/4" seam, I use my 1/4" seam presser foot more than the seam guide.

I use mine quite often to press things that I don't need an ironing board for; and have never experienced any of the quilting pattern to transfer to my garments or flat pieces. Never really thought about the possibility of it; but have been using mine for a few month now and have not experienced it happening.

Yes, I have. It works wonderfully. It is the best processor! I absolutely, 100% love this machine. I think everyone should own one, it's that good!

We used the machine only with medium weight cottons, and my purpose for getting the machine was for my granddaughter to learn to sew and make clothes for her dolls.The instructions say that the machine is not for use with heavy weight fabrics so if I were in need of a machine to sew on denim and fleece etc I would not buy this one. The motor is too small I think.This little machine does not have a way to oil it so cannot imagine that it will hold up for heavy use. Also, this is a very small machine so it would be difficult to use for big projects.

Yes. I've had mine for 2 yrs now. And absolutely love it! It also has an attachment to make circular sewing much easier. I use this machine daily! ! It gets a real workout and I've not had ANY trouble with it. I will suggest the ' Brother lock 1034D, if your in the market for a surger. Easy to thread and use. Again never a problem with it! I do routine home maintaining.

I have not. I would prefer to do something like that on sewing machine alone since it would be easier to control

Sadly (if you're on a budget at all), the next step up I believe is the Brother 1250...a gorgeous machine, but runs about $1700. Not available at Amazon; I think you have to buy it from a dealer. I want exactly the same thing, but not to spend that much on a hobby I only do once in awhile. I ordered the Singer Futura XL-400 because it just is TOO tempting despite the reviews....has large embroidery area and some nice regular sewing stitches....guess what? The machine CROAKED the first time we tried to embroider with it! My husband is a computer guy and I'm experienced at embroidery...we read the directions carefully..... VERY disappointing, I should have believed the reviews here on Amazon....would not recommend that machine, no matter how tempting it looks! Getting customer service from Singer is nearly impossible, too. Hope you find this helpful....wish Brother would come out with something as dependable as the se400, but with 5x7 capabilities at the lower price!

I am thinking that your machine is not one with the longer arm, making more space for machine quilting? If that is the case, your machine would be fine. If your machine has a bigger space for quilting, I am not so sure. I have a Bernina 750, which has the longer arm making more space to the right of the needle and I don't think it would work well for that machine. will you be ordering the machine surround, it fills in the space all around your machine as it sits on the lower platform in the table. Thereby having your machine arm inside and surrounded by the table, you have to order it from the makers of the table.

Yes. Though I did not think the machine was of good enough quality to bother with. I returned mine and bought a higher quality machine.

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

yes, I use it for free motion quilting There are excellent videos on You Tube demonstrating how to do free motion quilting using this type of foot.
