Do you use your embroidery machine for quilting? I've done a couple of tops, but not quite satisfied. Maybe more experience?

I bought mine thinking that I would use it to quilt. Take a look at the Edge to Edge Quilting book by Amelie Scott. You have to buy the first one which is the instruction book with one CD of quilting designs. The next releases are the design CDs "only". You use larger hoops to quilt. She just released number 6.

Sandy[/QUOTE ]Me too. But I quickly learned it isn't very practical. It does a nice job. But the hooping up of a quilt sandwich is very hard. And then there's the issue of all the rehooping to do even a small quilt. It can take about 40 on up. Perhaps other machines are better equipped with hoops that work well with a thick quilt. I have the Horizon MC 12000. I hardly ever embroider. So the expense for the embroidery machine was wasted. An accurate piecing machine would've been better. |

A pillow I recently made, learning to get the spaces right when I rehoop. Not perfect but getting better.
