What task does this machine do?

my guess is a blind hemmer. Been years and years since I used one - can't see if it's got the curved needle to know for sure. But it looks like it's got the arm to swing the curved needle left/right to make the chain stitch.

Why would you want to hem a quilt? The hem would show on the back. You really need to bind a quilt. Or you could sew backing & top right sides together, leaving an opening to turn right sides out. And then close the opening by hand. And then topstitch around the edges.

I either zigzag or do a straight stitch all away around before I bind which for me works, makes it sew I do not have to worry about the backing folding over when I put on the binding. . Some people also do that and wash their quilt prior to binding. I did that once. the reason why some people do that is so that the quilt shrinks so they can cut it even prior to binding.

Pat,
Not totally recovered from the shoulder problems. The rest of me seems to be getting there.
We have quilted those we made first, then put the binding on. That held them together for the most part. But the edges were not straight. I still have my "All Machines Denim Quilt" to finish and I want to make it straight around the edges.
