I have read that I cannot use this machine for quilting due to the needle height not being adjustable. Does anyone know about these machines? Also, if I would decide to buy a new machine, what would a good one be for someone just starting out sewing and quilting?
You should be able to piece with your machine. Depending on size of quilt the harp on your machine is small so a baby or throw might be doable but a large would be tasking. I suggest taking a basic sewing machine class at an lqs to get familiar with your machine. I have used all levels of brothers and never really get tension issues but if you mess up the bobbin case bad you can have major issues but brothers are easy to use. I would email brother for a manual to download
