Someone mentioned liking imperfections in their handstitching (I do too and it gives the look of an authentic handstitch to primitive projects) the solution is to adjust the stitch length and stitch space throughout the project.
Yes, it is a chainstitch on the backside of the project but the secret is to use a color thread that matches the backing then the chainstitch is less noticeable. It is best to use at a slow speed and FMQ is really not an option with this machine.
If you open your horizons to new ideas and projects (not only quilting), you would be amazed at what this machine can produce. Examples: embellished stitches on handbags that are lined, clothing, linens, etc.
Would I purchase again? Yes without a doubt.
Thanks for the reply. It is good to hear from someone who has one and to hear what you can do with it. Good product endorsement :!: :wink: :lol:
