I want to learn to quilt. I want to know what machine to start with. I have a sewing machine, but not one to quilt. I don't even know what to look for or how to start.
|
what machine do you have at the moment?
|
kenmore

my machine is about 10 to 15 years old. There is not a lot of room between the body and the needle to allow a quilt to pass through.

Hey Frostiedee, are you referring to MAKING quilts, or finishing a quilt you have already made? If you are wanting to quilt on your regular sewing machine, you can do it. Clarify for me.. Joanie

I want to learn to quilt on a machine. I have made a couple of quilt in the past and hand quilted them. Now I want to learn to quilt on a machine.
|
The machine you have now should be able to quilt . Is it a newer one or an older one ? You might just want to check and see if you can get a walking foot for it . It just takes time and practice :lol:
|
Thank you ladies.

If you can drop your feed dogs, then it give you free motion to quilt as well, but your regular machine, you can do stitch in the ditch, or cross hatch and other straight line stitching. It's fun when you can complete a quilt from beginning to end. A walking foot is ideal though. Since you have the internet, there are many sites that will teach you how to quilt without a cost

I need to learn too, but I need to get a walking foot.
