This is a great project for beginners. It looks complicated but if you follow the directions it is easy . Looks really great when finished. Hope this helps Becky

I am no expert but the qualities of warm and natural allow for both hand or machine quilting. Minimal shifting between the layers.

You can do free motion quilting. I've done large projects on it with great results! The machine is strong enough for quilting, but could be a bit tight of space for large projects like bedspreads.

The blocks do not have to be all the same. If you have a 5 X 7 quilt which is 35 blocks, then you can have 35 different blocks. Actually, it's nice to combine different blocks and see what you get. The geometry of the shapes formed is endless. I would recommend this especially for the price. I have designed several quilts already and I'm happy with the results. While EQ7 will expand the range of what you can do, with your imagination, this might be all you need.

I don't recommend it as with washing it will start to come undone. I use it for quilting before final quilting. Hope this helps

No. & No, This is not for machine Quilting, It is for top stitching. It can be used for top stitching close to the edge or over lapping of Fabric.

I am presently using this 100% cotton batting in a quilt but have not finished.... but so far, the batting is as advertised and very easy to use. I have every confidence that when finished, the quilt will be warm. A finished quilt would not be any warmer than the air temp. allowed; but would warm up when used due to body temp.

I would guess this would be just right for a beginner. My 13 year old daughter does just fine with it. I would suggest going to a local music store to purchase different reeds, however. The reeds that come with it are not great, and sometimes don't work well.

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.

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.

I guess it's normal. I use mine for quilt piecing and I have done some machine quilting on it. It seems to respond according to the pressure you put on the foot pedal. I love it. I have an electronic very high end machine I use for embroidery, etc. but this little guy is perfect for take along and quilting. Hope this helps. Mary

Yes,I have used it to sew a quilt top together because it stitches a seam and overlocks at the same time. It is especially good for knit fabric. :-)

I think it would work well for non beginners also. It really depends on what you would want for your board. You could probably change everything if you wanted to.

Although I haven't personally tried it for quilting I would recommend this thread. It's great for the price and I haven't had any issues with it in my machine.

I use it for thick layers. I take it to quilting class and I just finished a denim quilt made from old jeans

I wouldn't hesitate to make a queen sized quilt on it. You do need to jelly roll what you've quilted in order to maneuver, just as with any other sewing machine. But it has a really big bed to rest the material on while you work, which I really, really like.

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.
