If you mean free-motion quilting, then yes, it does. There is a switch to lower the feed dogs, and the manual has instructions included. I can't say how well it works, though; I own a Juki TL-98Q that I have used for quilting for several years, and it is a much heavier-duty machine. It only does straight stitch, though, so the Brother is better for piecework with fancy stitching.

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!

It works just fine . . .the BSR is no problem because it works on top of the quilt, not below where the Slider is. I use my slider with the BSR attached and without.

I am a beginning quilter and it seemed to me like a lot. If you have a friend as I, that does quilting or a quilt shop to go to, it's a good deal. They both helped me greatly by steering me to complete it. I even changed the size and used my own material.

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.

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 they can, I bought one a few months back and I love it. It makes quilting on a home machine a lot easier, when quilting on a home machine.

I wouldn't. I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop. For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam. It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive. I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier. Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion. Have fun!

Yes. I purchased this iron specifically for quilting projects and I am extremely pleased with the performance. It does go through a lot of water, though, when steaming! Many quilters do not use the "steam" feature, but I do. This iron was recommended to me from a fellow quilter. Hope this answers any of your concerns!

The Clover mini=iron is fine for pressing seams while piecing, however it does not do as well on a larger area. Therefore I prefer the Rowenta travel iron, use it always when I am sewing for quilting.

Depending on the size of your quilt. The case is only about 3" thick. If your quilt is thick and full size, this case will not work. Just not enough room.

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

Sorry, I have used mine to make my quilting surface slick. It has worked well for that.Thanks Vici

It is used to get a 1/4 in seem in quilting. I use it all the time. Hope this helps!

This Brother should work great for all your basic & even intermediate sewing needs. I quilt regularly with it, just make sure you use a quilting foot & an appropriate needle for your materials.

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB
