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 Michigan! I got a book that is hoping to teach me. There are directions and "lessons" I can learn from. I've done lesson one so far!!
It's called machine quilting made easy by Maurine noble. It looks like a magazine ! Hope that helps!!

Hi! Welcome from Illinois. You might go to the "Search" at the top and type in machine quilting. There are probably previous posts on machine quilting.
