Dingle..thanks for the answer about the stipple stitch...I figured it could be sized...now for the next question...
Has anyone tried free motion quilting without the foot pedal? Just the start/stop button? Does the start /stop button act as a stitch regulator with the feed dogs down?
Can you even drop the feed dogs on this machine? That's one thing I haven't heard mentioned? Thanks...Donna

That machine also has a built in stipple stitch, and I would love to have that!
Congrats on your machine...Donna

I just bought the same machine & hoping it will do me for quilting. My budget was also tight, I figured it was better than nothing.I will use it to make sure everything works and than I have to pack it up for my xmas gift.
I was sure glad to hear there were some people out there who own it &like it.
Congrats on your new machine

I have the brother NX 650. It is the low end QUILTING machine. It has a few more stitches than yours, but it is essentially the same. Whoopee for us! Enjoy your new baby. My old Brother machine is Patsy, and I was thinking of Pearl for the new one! If 'they' can name the Featherweights (old toys),and LAQ's, I can name my new toys. :thumbup: P.S. If your old machine was a Brother, all of the attachments are interchangeable! Bonus!

What kind of special quilting stitches does it have? Do you embroider them on or are they stipple stitches. I have the Brother Innovis 4000 and have a couple of stippling stitches, but I paid alot of money for mine. Thanks
