Does this machine do a blanket stitch?

I am just starting to make quilts, I know this is a quilting stitch. I am not sure if the machine will have the capability. I think it will on small projects with a special foot.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

No. You turn knobs to change the stitch length or presser foot pressure; push a button for needle up/down; push a button for automatic needle threading; lift a lever to raise or lower the presser foot (or press your knee against the knee lever); hold a lever down while you stitch to go in reverse for a back stitch; push a button (or press your heel on the foot pedal) to cut the thread and raise the foot. It only does a straight stitch so there's not really anything to computerize. The machine is all metal (even the bobbins) not plastic, industrial strength, and sews like a dream.

Yes it did. My daughter and I figured this must be a quality control check the company does before boxing the machine. Very good idea, they know the machine is working properly. Happy sewing!

Yes! This blanket has about a 1 1/2" hem and is stitched very well all the way around. Great product.

No, not really. Not unless you use a seam ripper to undo the stitching, pull out the insides, then sew it back up again when you're done.

There is software called scan-and-stitch, which I have not used, that says it will.

I don't know, but don't think it does. I bought it for my grandkids. Do not buy this machine!! Its awful - hard to thread, doesn't feed right, loose stitches, etc. I have serious buyers' remorse over it. A short time later, I bought a Janome basic machine for my mom. For about $80 it sews beautifully! I am planning to buy another one for my girls next time they visit. Hope this helps!

I have a single needle machine and it does not work. There is not enough room for the hoop to move freely for it to embroider patterns.

No, it does straight stitch as well. You can do anything a regular machine would do.

No - this machine does not have a stitch regulator. I know there is a Bernina machine that does - but it doesn't have the larger opening for quilting. Oh, and it is also probably 10 times the price.

Yes it does. After reading the other reviews, I was fully prepared to make quilting stitches myself to prevent the movement they complained of. But when the comforter arrived, there was plenty of one inch stitching seams throughout the comforter that should keep the batting in place. The stitches are nicely placed and not really noticeable either. I have not washed it to test, but I usually have these dry cleaned anyway. It is way too bulky to fit in a normal washer.

I haven't tried yet, since I just got my machine. While I was researching machines I found a you tube video demonstrating sewing a seam like jeans have on denim and then he folded it up twice like a hem and it sewed great.

no. it does not. it is a "cover stitch machine". Janome makes a very nice 5 thread serger that makes a 2 thread chain stitch while sergin. but if you want a proper three thread cover stitch, and a proper 3 thread serged edge at the same time, your only options are the BabyLock Evolution/Ovation models.

I love this machine. I have done some light quilting so I think it should sew denim but can't swear to it. I purchased for quilt classes due to its light weight. Hope that helps a bit.

No sewing machine will stitch through crystals and rhinestones . . .those will need to be added by hand or a special tool designed for that purpose. An experienced user will have no problem using this machine to stitch the garments.
