my 10 year old is wanting to do quilting projects, can you use this machine for that?

You can use any sewing machine for piecing your quilt together. You need a special machine to "quilt" it. Your machine just needs to go forward and backward. I bought this machine for my 10 year old granddaughter for Christmas this year because of the reviews. I hope this helps.

Sure, you can use it. It is slower then you might like and quality is quite bad with non-existing support. Go ahead and take your chance. My son was 9 when I got it and it was too slow and did not have much power for him.

It comes with instructions on how to put the frame together and how to put the sewing machine on the frame--however, it does not teach you how to quilt if that is what you were also referring to. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

They are probably too "young" for a ten year old although it depends on the child. My 4 year old granddaughter gets slightly frustrated while using them but she still manages to make items!

I use it strictly for free motion quilting. I could not use the foot pedal and keep a consistent speed. My thread kept breaking. Now , I am able to control the speed as I am quilting and getting better results.

Absolutely not. I have a 10 year old boy and he's made some pretty complicated stuff with his Legos and this is the set he picked for this coming Christmas!

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.

I think it's a good beginers machine and should do what a 9 year needs to be doing

It is a little complicated to use if it's for trimming paper, a Fiskar paper trimmer would be my recommendation for an 8 year old. If using simply as a light table, though, it should be fine. :-)

It's a great sewing machine, period. Besides quilts, I sew garments and home dec projects, and I love the powerful motor.

This machine is very slow compared to your average full sized machine.as far as age goes, parental judgment I think. If the child knows it can hurt them if they put their finger under the needle then I think they are old enough. However, I wouldn't let a toddler use it. I would let a school agEd child use it under supervision.

Not at all. This is a wonderful beginner machine and although I've been sewing for years and ours belongs to my 10-year-old I still steal it frequently since it's very lightweight and easy to use. If you like the color I don't think you can go wrong with this fun little machine. It's an excellent way to begin sewing.

10 year olds may be a little old for this. the tools that go along with it would be good for that age, but the bench itself would be a little short for a ten year old child.

Machine not needed at all but could be useful.The package comes with various fabric pieces and trims. The model is soft bodied so that the pins provided can stick in easily to hold fabric and trims in place. My Granddaughter spent many hours at age 11/12 creating fabulous evening gowns and such. I am certain that she learned a lot about the fall and drape of various fabrics. The kit comes with needles and thread but she didn't use them. In terms of entertainment she certainly got my money's worth out of this gift!

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

I don't know anything about quilting but I does work on reading and has a real use for looking at coins and identifying them and their condition?? On close work it's fine?? john
