Help with buying new sewing machine

Post by twinsis » Sat Jun 17, 2017 6:15 am

Hi ladies,

I am just getting into quilting and want to buy a new sewing machine. I think I want a computerized one but not sure what to get. Any suggestions?

I am Pfaff girl. But there are other great machines as well.

I would look for the following on a new machine:

A good blanket stitch
A good satin stitch
But most of all, lots of space from the needle to the head of the machine. The bigger the space, the more rolled up quilt size you have to work with.

I just got a new machine as well. Make sure that the place you buy it has classes on all the features. My new one is computerized and does embroidery as well.

Eleanor uses a Baby Lock in most of her videos.

Have Fun,
