So can you please tell me what IS the correct size needle, thread, etc, when quilting, free motion or straight stitch? I have alot of needles, Top Stitching, Quilting, etc, all Schmetz. No Skimping there! But when it comes to quilting, I just can't seem to get it right. My stitching to make the quilt itself are all good.
**To Bearisgray** You made a very good observation. I have always had very tight stitches, straight or otherwise. It was just recently, that I noticed just how tight they were, when I had to tear something out & the stitches were so tight that my smallest seam ripper could not get underneath the stitches to rip them out. ***
My favorite sewing machine & most user friendly that I have is a Husqvarna Viking Desinger SE. My other 2 favorite machines for just piecing or sample stitching are my Kenmore & my little ELNA 1010, both very friendly & uncomplicated , non-computerized sewing machines, which make perfect stiches, especially free motion quilting, but too small to quilt large quilts.
