Can you quilt with this machine?

You can certainly piece things with it, it's a great little machine. You could also "stitch in the ditch". However, you cannot lower the feed dogs and therefore cannot free motion quilt.

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. :)

Hi! You can put a quilt of any size on this frame. After you make your quilt "sandwich" (top, batting, and back), baste it or pin it together, then simply drape it over the quilt frame and put on the clamp pieces. I usually start my stitching near the center of the quilt. Quilt the area inside the frame, then pop off the pieces that hold the quilt in place and shift it to a new area. Turn the quilt around as necessary to keep it from piling up in your lap. I love this frame. It comes apart in minutes and you can store it in the box. I went to Lowe's and had them cut me a piece of Masonite (lightweight board used in construction) 3' x 5' and I lay that on top of the quilt frame when it's empty so I can sort quilt block pieces. Then I store that board under my mattress until I need it again. I have a wooden quilt frame, but I don't think I'll ever use it again because this plastic one is so easy and quick (and takes up less floor space) to use. Happy Quilting!!!

Yes and no. There is a special foot that you can buy and that can do ruffles with the machine or you can use a basting stitch and manual make ruffles by pulling the thread with your hand after you baste it. YouTube a video for more instructions

I'm sure you could, Paul. I'm just saying that any quilter would have a heart attack that you would want to cut paper with a rotary tool! :-) It is very sharp though, so I'm sure it would do what you want. Just don't expect to use it on fabric after that!

So far, so good with my DC2014. I just finished my first quilt on it and I love it so far! No problems like my older Singer, and White machines did...

Yes, it can sew on quilts. It seems to do most things that a regular sewing machine does except use electricity!

Yes but you don't even need much in the way of instructions. My 6 year old granddaughter uses it safely and she had a blast on it. The hardest part is realigning new needles to the foot and just by being told that should help you. We love this machine. I'm trying to make time to create landscape art on it now. Also check YouTube. Lots if stuff there.

Yes, I believe you could use it for that. I copy my patterns on it and stitch over them for paper piecing quilting.

I am still working on mine....I have not had much time to devote to it. I think it would be a good beginning quilt, a lot of cross stitch on it, which is faster.

Yes you can use a walking foot for quilting and all home sewing projects. The walking foot will need to be an industrial type for the 20U series machine.

I have had very good success, especially in machine applique in quilting. Not sure about apparel unless you are applique work. Don't use it for seams. It's for decorative purposes.

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.

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.

I got mine to use as an ironing station next to my sewing machine so I could easily press quilt blocks without having to race back and forth to the ironing board. Seems like it should work ok.

Not for quilting. Difficult to use, and often have trouble with it. For plain sewing, I'd suggest something like The Denim Star sold at Walmart.
