Has anyone used this under a sewing/embroidery machine?

No I have not, but I don't see a problem using it under a sewing/embroidery machine, it will protect your table, it is well constructed. You will enjoy using the mat.

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.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

Sorry, but I don't know. I use it on a sturdy desk. The machine itself isn't overly heavy, but I don't know how it would do on a regular sewing table. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes, I actually just leave mine on top all the time and it is the perfect height for comfortable sewing. Hope this helps.

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 it works fairly well for crafting. This past winter I set up on my patio while in Texas. It was lovely to be outside sewing. I have a small Janome machine.

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've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

I had this problem once or twice with this machine and my old Singer. (my only two machines ever). Once it was too much lint under the bobbin holder and it was fine once I really cleaned my Machine and got the little"dust bunnies" out of there. They almost look like felt. The other time, I simply had my bobbin in reversed and didn't realize it. I have already made four larger quilts and lots of small projects in the year I have had this machine. I LOVE it. Usually the problem is me, not the machine. LOL I have also learned to change needles often! Every new project or about 12-15 hours of sewing, which ever comes first.

Probably just about any foam will help absorb the vibrations from the sewing machine, but if the machine loses firm contact with the table or floor, it might become unstable and affect the sewing.

This would be fantastic if you wanted to use it for sewing, so don't hesitate to use it because I do and so doe's my wife!

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

I have purchased 2 sets of these threads from Kolors. I especially like the variety of colors. I use a Brother PE- 770. I hope you have as much fun as I have had doing embroidery. In case you haven't been told, you should clean your machine atleast once a week in the bobbin area, that way any thread you use won't get tangled and you won't get as frustrated.

I haven't, but i do sew and I think that it would do a pretty good job of reinforcing the bottom of a medium/small purse, so long as you didn't plan to put anything too heavy in it. I'd be afraid that it would bend if you put something heavier than a waterbottle in there.

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. :)

This thread is for sewing machine or hand sewing. It is not for embroidery. I have this and it works good for me.
