I love to make quilts. The one thing I have problems with is the actual "machine" quilting after putting it all together. Any hints?

Hello, and welcome from Idaho! I have never used a regular machine to quilt, so I am no help.

Thanks for the welcome from "Idaho". My machine has a drop foot and I understand from reading instructions on "how to quilt" with your machine, but I learn better if I actually "see" it being done or watch a "video" of it being done. Someone must be able to help me with that. Thanks in advance.

Welcome from the UK. Like you I have finished my quilt top and basted everything together. I have decided to try machine quilting instead of hand quilting mainly because I have a fallen in live with my new machine. I have discovered a great number of vidoes for beginners on Youtube. Best part, you can play them again and again until we get the message :lol:
