not for quilting, but the ONLY way to hem knits...they look professional... then there are tucks...tighten bobbin tension, put crochet cotton under the fabric (there is probably a cording foot for this) and sew double seam over the cord......filled tucks make great details.... then embroidery....make several rows of gathering stitches, pull up evenly...then use double needle with same color or different color threads...stitch straight over the gathers...machine shirring (for detail on yokes, cuffs, baby clothes)... now one last possibilty... you can do 2 color or 2 row scallops or simple design stitches BUT YOU MUST TEST, FIRST.... put double needle in, set design stitch, then use hand wheel to move the needle one ENTIRE design from start to finish... you must find out if the design is too wide for the needle... it will hit one side or the other, if this is so... either set the design to be narrower (this can be done on most machines, the preset numbers are just the optimum) or try a simpler design...
