Buying a sewing machine with quilting in mind. Basics - what
you need! To
achieve a ¼ inch seam a
machine must have the capacity to either move the needle to the desired
position so that the edge of the foot can be used as a guide or have a
special foot with a ¼ inch
already marked out. All
the machines in this guide have both features, their needles can be
positioned anywhere between left and right as it is not sufficient to
have three set positions. A ¼ inch
foot is still useful as it is a straight stitch foot suitable for fine
fabrics, this requires centre needle position. Some machines in this
guide will be equipped with this foot as standard. To quilt successfully
a walking foot is very useful, some of the machines in this guide have
one supplied as standard. All
the machines featured will help their users to produce beautiful
patchwork quilts, but remember the materials and methods used are just
as important as the correct tools. Some
of these machines are very luxurious and have wonderful features, but
there is plenty of choice.
