Do you think this machine would be a good one to quilt on? Do you think the feed dogs will drop?
Is lost51 around? What's your opinion on this? http://cgi.ebay.com/INDUSTRIAL-STREN...item4cedb711ab |
If you read carefully, it is a replica of an older machine. In my opinion the feed dogs do not drop, but I have read that you can place a piece of cardboard or template plastic over the feed dogs. It is a straight stitch only machine and don't know if it would FMQ even with the feed dogs covered. I guess it depends on what your needs are and what you plan to use it for.

Thanks nursie76.

I don't think the feed dogs drop in the old machines.

Some of the older machines and even some of the regular quilting machines (like the Grandquilter) have a cover plate for the feed dogs.

So what have you decided to do ?

Hummm, I never thought to ask the tech, but I will. I'm only worried because I don't want to "use up" the hours so to speak. I do a lot of embroidery too, and can't afford to buy another one every couple of years. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Bernina, but just don't want to put that much stress on it. I have to take it in next week anyway to get a cleaning and lube job so I'll try to remember to ask him some questions. |
