Can I do free motion quilting with this machine? Is an embroidery foot available for the machine for free motion quilting?

No. I would not buy this machine for all around quilting. I do small piece machine quilting and serge ring. I love my Janome Memory Craft 6600.machine to do bigger piece quilting and free motion. I bought Janome Jem Gold so if I am free motioning I don't have to change settings.

Not for hand embroidery. Machine embroidery may be okay for small jobs, not enough thread for larger jobs.

It is wonderful for free motion quilting. I use quilting thread in top and bobbin. Don't know about invisible thread. Probably equally excellent.

The ease of free motion quilting it provides is well worth any necessary actions. My quilting has improved greatly since having the slider on my machine.

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.

Standard foot, walking foot, hemming foot, zipper foot, and two sizes of free motion quilting feet! I love this machine! :-)

My Janome Dcor sewing machine is still alive and well. However, about half a year ago I bought the Janome Craft 7700 QCP because quilting with the Dcor machine (6.5'' throat space) is almost impossible for anything larger than a baby quilt. I bought a model, which had just been replaced at a very good price. I am very happy with this new machine. It has so many more features (automated thread cutter, knee lift, throat space lighting!!, 11'' throat space [the new version has 12'' throat space but costs a lot more.] -- That is all I know about Janome machines. So far so good. Both Janome machines work like a charm. -- Ursula

it comes with just a basic sewing foot. I purchased a separate even feed got for $50 to do quilting with.

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.

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

Yes you can. You just have one side that has the attachment for the sewing machine that will not get in your way.

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.

Yes it does. And we do have a quilting foot that is for free motion. The part # is 40052013 and here is a link to it: http://www.shopjoya.com/p-36884-juki-quilting-foot-for-hzl-35z-25z-k65-k85.aspx. Just lower your feed teeth when using this foot.

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 got this answer through google. Maybe it will work for you: Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Unthread the machine, top and bottom. Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot, lower the foot, and "sew". Does the needle move? If not, check that the bobbin winder is off. Does the paper move? If not, check the stitch length is set to something reasonable (like 3 mm instead of 0 or 0.5mm), and that the feed dogs are raised (check the manual for the section on raising or lowering the feed dogs or free motion embroidery or free motion quilting) Still no luck? Pull the needleplate and do a good cleaning (vacuum and brush only, please -- compressed air just forces the lint in further) especially around the feed dogs and in the bobbin case area. Lubricate if the manual directs. Works on paper, doesn't work when you thread up? Are you starting the seam correctly, and making sure you hang on to the thread ends for the first couple of stitches? Here are some stitching issues caused by not threading correctly and/or not starting the seam correctly: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/vi... Notice that the last pair of photos illustrates a jam that was so bad it brought my machine to a halt -- caused by incorrect seam starting and poor threading. (pictures are in pairs... blue thread on top, red thread in the bobbin.) If you still can't get it to work, it's probably repair shop time... it's probably going to need parts or more adjustment than you can do, or you've missed a spot in extracting jammed thread bits. Over the years I've seen two machines that were really unable to transport fabrics... one had a broken linkage to the feed dogs, and the other had fractured a feed dog (and I'm still not sure how that happened!)

No it is a free motion quilting foot so you don't use any fees dogs with it. It will allow you to stipple or do other free motion designs
