new to quilting

Hi, I just started quilting 8 weeks ago. I am taking classes at the Stitch in Whitefield, NH. I made a lap quilt, a twin quilt, a table runner, an applicapplique of a loon and am presently working on a purse.

My question is what type of sewing machine do you all like? I have a Phaff 2056, which is great, but when I do free motion quilting, it does not stitch evenly on the bubbin side. I had it serviced and it is still doing the uneven stitches. Am I doing something wrong?

Welcome from NE CA. Glad you joined us. Many of us on the forum have several machines, I have 6 or 7, but mainly I use my elna Quilter's Dream.

Welcome from Southern California. I Have a Bernina that I use most of the time. I have a 23 yr old Pfaff I used to use.

Welcome!

WOW - are you sure it's 8 weeks not 8 years?! Slow down, girl, you're putting us all under pressure here!

Hello, and Welcome from Missouri! Clean out the bobbin area of your machine, and change your needle! It might just be a simple thing that is causing uneven stitching on the bobbin side.
This is a great place to get answers, or at least suggestions! :lol:

Greetings from Sacramento CA. Sorry - not much help with the question. I have a Pfaff but only do stitch in the ditch so far. There are a few threads on the QB about machine quilting. You might find some insight there.
