Yes. Ive done two quilting projects one smaller, one large denim and both went very smooth.

No, but it has a long neck, wonderful for quilting, etc... It is a great machine. I sew every night after work. I sew all kinds of things, crafts, baby blankets, quilts. It has worked well with everything I have done. I will tell you this, if my house was on fire and I had to grab something, it would be this machine. I am totally in love with it. Also, very easy to use.

I Have Sewn On And Off Since I Was A Kid, And Sold My Old Machine When I Moved. I Bought This To Make Simple Repairs As Well As Pillow Covers, Etc. IT Is A Fine Machine For Learning Control, it Does Not Have A Lot Of Power. As Long As You Are Not In A Rush You Will Be Fine.

I think it might just do - I have this machine and love it. But for Queen sized quilts, you might want a machine with a longer harp area but this machine has about a 9" harp, and there are others out there with a couple more inches - such as the Janome 7700, and also models in the Viking, Pfaff, and Bernina lines, as well as Babylocks and Brothers.

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 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.

It is a sturdy machine it sews very well and I feel it will sew almost all fabrics. I know it will sew denim.

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.

I don't know much about machine quilting as I use a 1950's Singer featherweight machine for piecing and then do all quilting by hand. I suppose if you can use a hoop type frame that this would be similar. I use this frame for quilting and other hand needlework.

I purchased one and use it occasionally. It has a good magnet and since I have an older Viking machine, which is metal; it does hold well. Since my sewing is predominately quilting using a 1/4" seam, I use my 1/4" seam presser foot more than the seam guide.

No but it does beautiful embrodery. I want to trade this sewing machine to update to a 2015 dual As I do a lot of quilting and embrodery etc. I would like a more advance and versitile machine

most new machines for home use are low shank machines, what make and model is yours? It would be easier for us to tell you if it would work. It makes Quilting a breeze as well as working with slippery fabrics.

I have cut out several cotton fabric appliques with Steam a Seam Lite backing. It works great. The iron on adhesive that comes with the machine seems very heavy but I have not tried it. As a quilter you might be interested to hear that it can also cut quilting stencils.

I don't machine but they are good for everything else so I would think they would do just as good for quilting . I only hand quilt since I was 9 when I started quilting and no one quilted by machine back then I am 74 now and my grans,greatgrans,and my greatgreatgran loves my quilt as well as my children and their spouses

I think it would be great on hardwood floors. We had ours on carpet, but many friends have them for their hardwood floors. probably dont even need the quilt...

Have used my machine for quilting classes and retreats for over 2 years. The first time I used it I did need to make a very minor tension adjustment. Very happy with the results it gives. Very basic and simple machine.
