I have 2 Vikings and have machine quilted on both of them. The older one only has a walking foot so can't do stippling or curves with that one. What I didn't like about machine quilting was that the fabric would pucker up sometimes where the seams met. If I quilted close together like stippling, that worked better.... started in the middle and worked my way out. Then I tried that new spray fabric adhesive (probably not new anymore) and that solved my problem. When I put my layers together, I spray the batting and press it to the back.... then spray the other side of the batting and press it to the front. WoW!! what a difference. Now I'm going to do lots more machine quilting because it's faster. Only the very special quilts will get hand quilted..... I'm slow at that and deal with lots of back pain leaning over my frame.
