20 Best Sewing Machine For Free Motion Quilting (2023 Updated)

I received this product for free in exchange for a review for Brother in exchange for my honest review. I brought this over to my friend who is an experienced seamstress who has made wedding dresses.

She noted that it was nice that the handle was in the machine. The machine is relatively quiet. There are many stitch options. The speed of the machine is adjustable and that is convenient so that I don’t go too fast.

The diagrams in the owners manual could be larger as it is difficult to thread. The manual could also be better organized. The cover of the machine has a cheap piece of styrofoam that stays in. There are some good safeties in place.

The machine will not allow you to start sewing if hte presser foot is raised. The digital screen is nice to see the settings selected and I can choose the spacing and width of stitches selected. The presser foot does not like working with towel type fabric against it as it has trouble grabbing it and moving it forward.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. As an experienced sewer, I can proudly say that this sewing machine is one of the best ones on the market.

The Brother XR9550 Computerized Sewing Machine is easy to use and includes 165 built in stitches. The amount of features incorporated is unbelievable. So far I have just played around with it, but can’t wait to dive further in.

I have made a few masks so far, but would love to make more to give to homeless shelters and people in need of them. The operation panel is easy to use, there is a large LCD screen, and the instructions are easy to read.

The machine is capable of numerous possibilities and I’ve only explored a few of them. I am incredibly excited and honored to use this sewing machine. My quarantine hobby has now begun. I am determined to make some quilts next!.

I upgraded from the HZL f600 which I absolutely loved. I am disappointed with the presser foot tension control. It can be adjusted in the software rather than with a button that presses down. I have it turned all the way up to maximum pressure and I still can’t get it to hold even medium weight fabric when I use the manual lift lever.

I can physically push the presser foot down farther after using the lever. The only way it works is to use the lower/raise presser foot button on the front of the machine every time. I also had to shut off the hover function because the pressure would not return when I started sewing again.

I like the built in walking foot function and the ability to remove the needle plate without a screwdriver. After a lot of frustration, I can sew pretty well by using the software to raise and lower the presser foot.

I currently have the foot pedal programmed to cut the thread but maybe I’ll try changing it to lift the presser foot. Its a little inconvenient to never be able to lift the presser foot manually but I seem to have found a work around.

Spend 3K on this machine if you’re looking for a thread cutter that cuts the thread so close, it unthreads EVERY time, so you have to re-thread the needle after every cut. But don’t plan on using the needle threader, it doesn’t work.

Also if you want a machine that is so finicky you can’t use pre-wound bobbins or get a good stitch on normal settings, make the investment. This purchase is a huge regret for me and taken the joy out of sewing.

I’m sticking to Babylock from here on out and will only buy local. This machine and customer service has been a terrible experience.

This is a wonderful machine. The extra inches of the throat plate make it very easy to feed a quilt through and machine quilt it. The machine has a wide selection of stitches and does a good job with them.

When using this machine for garment sewing, it has done an excellent job. The stitches are uniform and the machine is very easy to adjust if needed. The owner’s manual is a must for reference. It covers all the information necessary to use the machine.

This machine is wonderful to use.

I nearly didn’t buy this, due to all the reviews which mentioned a hard time with various features. I haven’t been able to try them all out yet myself, but let me tell you, the basics aren’t hard. There are videos on YouTube, which you can get to directly from the printed material (QR codes and URL addresses).

Some of them are even shown on stickers on the machine itself. It may not seem like a big deal to insert the bobbin a certain way, but apparently it does make a difference. the machine has a diagram about which way the thread needs to be coming off the bobbin when you insert it.

Just follow the pictures, the videos, and the written words. It isn’t THAT hard. I was honestly a bit scared to even open the box after some of these comments, but I haven’t had any problems yet. I just make sure to follow the “map” and it is easy.

Now, beyond that. This is the first machine I’ve ever had without a dial to select things. I wasn’t sure about the whole electronic aspect, but it isn’t bad. I’m getting used to the “needle up/ needle down” thing, and it is kinda fun.

If you use the “needle up” button when you finish your sewing, it is in the correct position for the needle threader to work (maybe people who had problems with that feature weren’t putting the needle in the correct position with that button).

Also, that makes sure that when you “power on”, you won’t break a needle because that part of the machine does move when it comes on. There are some markings on the transparent bobbin cover, which I was pleasantly surprised to see, because it isn’t something mentioned in the marketing and nobody said anything about it.

There are marks for 1/4″ both left and right of the needle (in left position, not center position). There are also some metric measurements but those don’t mean anything to me. I’ve tried out several feet and several fancy stitches, winding bobbins, and pretty much just playing around so far.

I even got really brave and used the walking foot just to see if it really helped. It does. I’ve only made one small project so far, but I’m about to make a quilt sandwich (my quilt piecing was done before buying this machine) and I’m actually looking forward to quilting it now that I have a walking foot! Why did I choose this machine? Printed manual comes with it – I don’t have to either look things up online or print it myself.

Walking foot comes with it. Big flat surface table comes with it (but using it means you have to take off the part where the extra accessories like the additional feet are stored, so I am using a storage container to keep them handy and not lost).

I hope I’ve helped somebody with clarification about things that others have been unhappy with.

“I received this product free from Brother in exchange for my opinion/honest review of the product. ” I got my “Brother CS7000X Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine, 70 Built-in Stitches, LCD Display, Wide Table, 10 Included Feet” and the first thing I though was how light the machine is.

Well, I set up and sat down with the instructions, as I am not tech savvy and thought I will never figure out all these stitches. So, first things first let’s get it threaded and start with the straight stitches.

I think I am pretty good at sewing but has been a while sitting down and making something from pattern or quilting. The “Brother CS7000X Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine, 70 Built-in Stitches, LCD Display, Wide Table, 10 Included Feet” is amazing, I almost felt like I did not have to be there to feed, or keep it aligned.

The machine seems to do that for you, and it has 3 settings for how slow or fast you want. Selecting settings on the machine is simple for what stitch or design you would like. I am up to 4 different sewing patterns which my favorite it the “Hearts”.

I can run this selected stitch down a strip of material and not have to do a hem stitch because the width I chose goes fractions from the edge stitching the folded edges. The “Brother CS7000X Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine, 70 Built-in Stitches, LCD Display, Wide Table, 10 Included Feet” comes with all the attachments such as bobbins, seam ripper and for sewing buttons holes, zipper, or hem line mended.

The “Brother CS7000X Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine, 70 Built-in Stitches, LCD Display, Wide Table, 10 Included Feet” is a great machine for beginners to learn on because of the many different setting for sewing just about anything.

This is the worst sewing machine I’ve ever owned. It’s a cheap piece of junk. Of course, you get what you pay for. Having come off my sturdy, wonderful Bernina to this, I was in shock at the poor quality.

The LCD display should be lit as it’s practically impossible to see anything. Threading is a chore, and the automatic threader rarely works and is more trouble than it’s worth. Installing the walking foot was a nightmare as there were too many things to dismantle.

My Bernina walking foot just snapped on. I don’t have very large hands, but there is very little working space, and my hands barely had any room. I plan to donate this foreign made junk and purchase another Bernina.

You can’t beat Swiss workmanship. Brother, you need to step up your game and produce quality.

I have been sewing for over 50 years. I have worked at a sewing factory for over 15 years. This machine compares to the factory machines I have used. I love it!!! I have used the even feed foot several times.

It works great on my purse and bag projects with Bosal Foam in them. It pieces quilts like a dream too. This is the first computer/electronic function machine I have owned. My other machines are older non-computer models.

Even though it is a bit heavy, it is portable enough I could take it to a quilt retreat. I would definitely recommend this machine.

I bought this machine and I love it. From quilting to making cushions with heavy layered upholstery fabric, Its a workhorse. Simple enough for beginner sewers and it will give you room to grow and learn.

The wide harp is one of its best assets. I was originally concerned because it didnt have the top loading bobbin, but the sideloading Bobbin is no big deal. You dont even need to move the extension table to load the bobbin, its cleverly designed I bought a basic Pfaff beginner machine and Quickly became hooked and needed a bigger, stronger machine.

I love that its analog and does one thing incredibly well: straight stitching. I kept the Pfaff for the occasional buttonhole and zigzag needs.

40+ year pro seamstress. Got this for denim hems. Will go over them like they are thin silk! Absolutely NO hesitation on 12 layers of denim! SO smooth, SO quiet! GREAT features on an industrial feeling machine! Do NOT hesitate to buy this machine! Do keep in mind, it is STRAIGHT stitch ONLY!.

Recently purchased the Memory Craft 6650 and haven’t been disappointed yet. I’m just getting my feet wet with the free motion settings but it is very nice. I’ve watched many videos, put out by Janome and others who are giving their thoughts on the machine, and so far haven’t needed much help in figuring out how to use it.

I’ve made 4 quilt since I purchased because I love it so much haha. I constantly think about going and working on a project. Needle up down function is great for quilting, I also thoroughly enjoy the thread cutting option and the multiple ways to use (foot pedal, button, or lever option) makes me think this would be a good machine for many people in all walks of life.

I recommend it all the time to others.

THIS replaces my 30 year old Baby Lock. So much has changed!! We are still getting acquainted, but so far the instruction guide has been very helpful. My advice to others is to watch you tube videos and keep the guide handy.

My favourite changes so far inclde the automatic thread clipper and the variable position needle. I was pleasantly surprised that both the extension table and quilting accessories were included.

I truly love this machine. I originally ordered the Janome MC6550P. For whatever reason the company sent me a free upgraded model the MC6700. This is the best machine I have ever used. The accufeed system is amazing.

It’s construction is solid and the operation is flawless. The stitches are beautiful and constant. It’s so easy to use all of the decorative stitches. I will never own another sewing machine. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Elizabeth.

I’m in love with this sewing machine! Granted I’d been sewing on a Singer Curvey, so this was a big upgrade. It’s got great features, and offers a smooth and fairly quiet sewing experience. It’s got me sewing a lot more, and inspired me to really get my sewing space organized.

Be sure to use the proper thread and needle and change your needle after your projects. I had 1 issue with the automatic thread cutter not cutting the bobbin thread and uneven stitches when I didn’t wind the bobbin correctly.

I rewound the bobbin and changed my needle and everything was back to normal. Sure, I’ll be paying this machine off for the next year but it’s so worth it.

I absolutely love it. It was out of the box ready, after a little tape removal. I wound a bobbin, threaded the machine, and began sewing in less time than it took to get my last machine out of the box.

It sews beautiful stitches. I am anxious to find time to finish the projects I have ready to sew.

Thank you for adding to my juki family of machines. I highly recommend this model any of the f series are awesome. I love the speed control for my granddaughter and aunt. Thank you CFVS for your help and service.

I was about to give up on my new Brother ST371 sewing machine – it seemed to have the same problems as my Project Runway machine – ‘bird nesting’ on the bobbin, broken stitched, uneven stitching. But after talking with an experienced quilter and explaining my broken seams problem, she helped me through.

It is important to change the needles frequently (I change mine every couple of projects) and make sure you are using a good quality thread that ‘matches’ with the fabric you are using. In the beginning, I was skipping these steps – my old Kenmore machine was a victim of my ignorance.

Since using the tips from a ‘quilting pro’, I’m happy with my ST371 machine – it has all the stitches I’ll need and I’ve bought various ‘feet’ to help increase this machines usefulness. I am mainly a hobbyist and have tackled cat beds, Halloween costumes, and clothes for family members with good results.

I don’t whether or not these people are doing what they are supposed to be doing or that they just don’t know how to use the machine. I have been sewing since 1968 and have used a lot of sewing machines.

I own a Bernina 1090QE, a Bernina B480, and my little workhorse ST371HD machine. I can’t say anything bad about my Brother ST371HD. This machine is a very good sewing machine. I went for like 15 years without sewing and did not have a sewing machine.

I bought this one just to make bedroom curtains for my house. After getting acquainted with the machine, I was bowled over by this machine. I LOVE IT!!.

Bought about a year ago. Purchased this brand because that is the brand I learned to sew on and loved that machine. This machine however, I fight with. Maybe bacuse It’s “new and improved. ” I find the lever to lift presser foot to be in the most awkward place.

Inside right side, instead of readily available on the back side, more convient to access, instead you have to reach through the middle of the machine. Why would they change that? For the sake of change I guess.

Also not a fan of the storage compartment, not easily taken off or put back on. In addition, the cord that goes to the outlet is about 6. 5 feet long and the cord that goes to the foot pedal is about 4′, a little short if you don’t want the cord hanging down in your lap and work area ( I’d rather it be long enough to pass toward the back of the table down to the floor) and plugs in on the side, why not the back out of the way of work areas??, Over all I found this machine to feel cheaply made (all plastics), but again my first brother the base was more metal like, while the top was plastic it just felt more solid.

I have trouble with the bobbin knotting up at times. I guess I don’t have the tension set correctly all the time? I am of course comparing this to my first Brother machine that had hundreds of hours on it.

(I’m not exactly a beginner) Maybe had I learned on this one(BrotherST371HD) I would like it better. Would I recommend for your first machine, I’d say give it a try, you have nothing to compare it to.

But highly recommend IF you can go in store to try other models and brands do that!.

I’ve had my machine for about six weeks now and absolutely love it. Easy bobbin winding and loading, auto needle threader, auto thread cutter, are some of my favorite features. This machine has EVERY feature I was looking for and I didn’t over-pay for a bunch of fancy stitches I don’t need.

I purchased the knee lift lever and extension table separate and the price was still less than the next model up. This machine is a huge upgrade from the one I was previously using. I did a lot of research and comparison of several brands and models and landed on the Juki HZL-F300 and I am sooooooo happy with my purchase.

I have used this machine for several days after receiving and I am very pleased. The only issues I have had was the needle threader would not work until I replaced the needle that was shipped in the machine.

Only once did the thread get tangled in the machine while sewing on a pattern stitch. I haven’t had enough time to test other stitch patterns so I will for now give it a 4 star. This was purchased as a second machine while I have my expensive Brother machine’s issues they can’t seem to fix.

This is my first Juki and so far it’s the best over Brother, Singer, and Bernina.

This is my first seeing machine ever. Im still learning how to use it but so far i have been able to make a nice mask on my first try. I purchased it because i want to learn how to sew. I would always see my mom seeing when I was a kid but I regret never sticking around to learn from her.

One minor issue is I never got the extra bobbins. Seems like others have had the same “out of stock†issue. Not sure if i will ever get them but it would be nice to get some kind of discount to purchase other items from SMP to make up for it.

I have had my machine for about 10 years now and at the beginning it was great. About 2 years ago the plastic parts started cracking. First it was the reverse button, Had to buy a new one at great expense.

This month is was the top right where the 3-hole thread guide is located. The corner broke off so the guide was loose. I glued that since I did not want to be a new top. Wonder where the plastic for this machine was made?.

I used my PQ1500S for years as I do all my Brother machines. I sew charity works hours a day. When it became too expensive to fix, I purchased a PQSL. I have been sewing for over 50 years on everything from Kenmore to Bernina to Singer (regret giving up my Singer).

I loathe this new machine. No matter what kind of thread I use, it twists and breaks. I LOATHE the LED light and it does no say it was replaced by this light. Too dark to even see in the bobbin area.

When using a lamp next to it, the machine runs like a dead horse and shakes the table and the light. It is so annoyingly loud it scares my dog. Extremely to get bobbin area open. I cannot say anything good and my nearest dealer is 150 miles away which I why I did not see this in person and they do not carry it.

I’m very disappointed with this machine as a quilting machine. It’s called a quilting machine, but the throat is far too small to do actual quilting on anything bigger than a baby quilt. I’m just beginning quilting, so I didn’t know when I bought it that it would be a problem.

The machine is ok for piecing, although getting a precise quarter inch seam is difficult. None of the included presser feet produce a seam that is actually a quarter inch. The machine defaults to the left position when it’s first turned on, which results in broken needles if you aren’t real careful.

I can’t find how to change the default to the center to match the quilting foot that’s on it 99 percent of the time. Changing the needles and presser feet is a little difficult because the space is so small that it’s hard to hold the tiny screwdriver.

It is lightweight and easy to carry to classes, and it’s quiet.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am so excited to own this Brother SQ9285 150-stitch Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine!! It’s been 20 years since I have owned a sewing machine.

At first I was intimidated by the idea of owning a computerized sewing machine because technology is not really my thing. What a pleasant surprise to learn how easy operating this sewing machine is. Brother has illustrated so many of the operating details right on the machine.

I am in my upper 60’s and my eyesight is failing, so the Self Threading needle function is a real nice feature. It took me a few times to get the very last step down, but once I did, changing thread colors became a pleasant experience.

150 built in utility & decorative stitches, each with their own pre programmed setting is more than I could have ever imagined. The machine comes with everything I need to get started except for a spool of thread.

Brother includes 4 bobbins, a seam ripper, needle set, ball point needle, twin needle, cleaning brush, eyelet punch, screwdriver, spool caps (3), extra spool pin and an accessory pouch. There is even a compartment on the base of the machine to store everything in! Plus they include10 different sewing & quilting feet! They have made it so easy to tell this sewing machine what I want it to do.

Push a couple buttons and the machine does the rest. Happy to see that the LCD display is large enough to view, even without my glasses. I really appreciate that Brother included a wide table that is super simple to attach.

The monogram option is going to be one of my favorites because I have so many phrases in my head just waiting to be sewn onto fabric and turned into homemade gifts. With 55 alphanumeric stitches, the sky’s the limit as to what I can create.

My sister has always been the quilter in the family. When my mother passed a little over a year ago, my sister made quilts out of the clothing that was too worn to donate. Now she is going to teach me how to make beautiful quilts using my new sewing machine! I love that this Brother SQ9285 150-stitch Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine allows me to adjust the speed.

There are times when I need to slow it down so I have better control of the fabric. I also love that I can choose to use the foot attachment or set the machine to sew without it. I have only had this machine a couple of weeks and there are still a lot of features this machine offers that I have yet to experiment with, but I can honestly say that I am extremely pleased with this machine so far!.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I’ve been into needlecrafts and sewing for most of my life, but honestly I’d never owned or even used a sewing machine, despite the fact that I’ve wanted one for awhile.

At first I felt a bit intimidated by all the features that the SQ9285 has, but in reality it’s way easier to use than I first thought. In the box you get pretty much all the tools you need to get started, plus detailed manuals and a helpful instructional DVD.

It has a lot of features and details that make it easy to use, like the light that shines on the sewing area and the fast bobbin winding system. It’s simple to just get started doing some basic stitches, but of course there’s so much more you can do with this sewing machine.

It has so many built-in stitch types that it can do – everything from utilitarian stitches for all your needs, to stitches that are just plain cute. The first thing I sewed together was a big double-layered blanket, and I felt so proud of myself that I was able to make something that looked professional so quickly and with zero previous sewing machine experience! So, I’d say this is a good machine to start your sewing machine journey with, but there’s enough awesome features and built-in stitch types here that it’s also the perfect machine for the experienced user who wants to step up their sewing game.

Personally, I can’t stop dreaming of all the things I want to stitch up, now that I’ve got a wonderful machine that can help make my dreams a reality.

I was really excited to receive my new machine as I’ve read many great reviews. However, the foot pedal seems like it has a malfunction. I’m hoping it is something simple and maybe I can get it resolved by getting a new pedal if possible.

I put in a call to Juki directly and they are supposed to call me back. In the meantime I was wondering if I should register the machine under the warranty or try to return it back to Walmart for a new one.

But I will say, that it worked wonderful for a few minutes. The speed was fantastic! But it would stop suddenly or just go really slow. I realize there’s a cutter at the very back of the pedal, but I was only pressing towards the front, and it just goes super slow, or just refuses to sew all together.

Really bummed. But I’m hoping it will be resolved soon and I can write up a much better review.

I previously had a PQ1500SL and traded it in for this. While it doesn’t have a pin feed and only two positions for the feed dogs, it sews beautifully and has a ‘heavier’ feel about it, even though weight wise it’s almost identical to the PQ1500SL.

The heel kick to cut threads is a great function but definitely order the heel stop in case you can’t get the hang of it or you are doing FMQ. It’s a pleasure to sew with, and has a beautiful stitch.

If you like to be scammed this store is for you. Machine was on sale and they somehow didn’t have anymore but a store model. Then after wasting my time for 2 weeks still no machine. I called cc company to stop payment, and contacted the Attorney General and am filing a complaint.

Buy your machine from someone who is interested in actually selling you a machine. Not these people.

After 25 years of heavy use, I retired my beloved Pfaff. I wanted a machine just as good to replace it and, oh my, what a joy this Juki is. Besdes being fine tuned and flawless in its stitching, the knee lift and auto thread cut are amazing! You never realize how much time you spend on those tiny tasks until suddenly, you no longer do.

I love the extended table for large work and, in the two weeks I’ve had it, I pieced together previously sewn quilt blocks (it handled 8 seam joins without any hesitation or distortion) as well as some heavy draperies.

It was great to have that extra support for those. I also sewed a delicate silk dress and several cotton dresses, all without issues. I am looking forward to a long and happy relationship with this machine.

Oh yeah, the drop in bobbin is great too!.

I love my Juki HZL-F600. It is strong and heavy duty for a computerized home sewing machine. The automatic threader is easy to use and well built. The different stitches are easy to learn to use. The video was well made and the instruction manual is clear and easy to understand.

I really like the drop in bobbin feature. The only thing I prefer to be different is the bobbin winding system. It automatically starts winding when the lever is pushed in. I missed a tension point when getting ready to wind a bobbin, and it took off automatically, winding messily.

I can do it now but I would prefer pressing on the foot control to give power to bobbin winding. The flat bed table is very large which is good. But we may have to figure out how to remove the legs from the table when we put it in a table.

I would prefer leaving the accessory box on the machine. The machine is too wide for a standard folding table with lowering cut out. I had to order a larger cut out table to accommodate this machine.

I have had several other computerized machines, including one well know expensive brand, but this is the best made one. Love the feeling of strength and speed.

I purchased this machine and have only used it a couple of times. I have made a small quilted wall hanging and a chemo head wrap so far. The quilting came out wonderful and have plans to make a large bed quilt next and expect the same wonderful results.

The Checmo head wrap is made of lace and lining and it to has sewed out beatifully. No bunching of the fabrics at all. I love the price of the machine. Expensive enough to be repected but cheap enough to be affordable.

I have been using a very cheap priced machine up to this point and have had great results with that but I needed an updated machine for the things I do. There are features on this machine that I love.

The threading of the needle takes only seconds. Changing stitches is so very easy. I will be puttng many hours on this machine over the next couple of months and for the future. My mother had a machine that cost way more than this machine years ago and it was capable of making sewing easy and had many stitch capabilities, but since I got this machine and have tested the stitches available, I am very happy that I have this machine and believe that it would be very loved by many other sewers that would like to keep a purchase of a machine in a budget.

This is a wonderful machine. Im using this on my quilt frame since all I needed was a straight stitcher. Works great! I purchased a stitch controller to use it in the frame but if need be I can use it normally.

Very heavy duty. Highly recommend if youre just looking for a good sturdy machine with no fancy stitches.

I received the Janome 1600P in great shape. I am pleased with the machine and found it works great for normal stitching, however I think I may have bit off more than I can chew when using this machine for free arm.

I need much more practice and patience to master my quilting projects. mostly patience. If you have suggestions, I am open to them.

I have used an old Singer from 1930 (inherited) that I hand crank. And finally I upgraded to something electric. I make a quilt every couple of years so all of my stitching is in little short straight bursts.

But, I am getting older and I wanted something to make everything easier. I love that it is almost identical to a Singer in the bobbin, the feet, and the controls. I tried a Bullet Bobbin machine and just couldn’t get use to it.

I somehow like the spooling bobbin method. Well. I do love my Singer for nostalgic reasons, but to get things going fast, this 1600 is great. And it easily mounts to a Grace quilting table to make the final product easier.

The only negative is that the thing comes coated in oil. I have to wash up after every use because everything is coated in oil. I am sure that will clear up in time.

It is a great machine at a great price. The features and accessories are perfect for a quilter. The stitch is the most perfectly straight one I have seen. The machine is QUIET. The thread cutter is a obvious time saver.

I have owned and used 7 brands of sewing machines in 48 years and I love this one. I’m very pleased with it and the sellers!.

This is a versatile machine. Especially like the variety of stitches and the scissor feature. Seems like a little thing, but this saves a lot of time and trouble. I think the optional table will be very handy when Im assembling large quilts and the free arm makes hemming pants so much easier.

Im a retired Family and Consumer Sciences teacher who has purchased many sewing machines for my department over the years, but I chose this one for my personal use and highly recommend it.

Awesome. Its neat and streamlined and I also love the features especially the ability to cut the thread in the needle down position and start up again fishing out the threads and without the thread knotting.

The best thing ever! I looked for a long time for a machine I could afford which was able to do this.

I love my new machine, and am happy I bought it, although I am realizing that I probably should have just bought an industrial sewing machine. It would have saved me about $5000. My table and machine both had some damage, but it is mostly cosmetic, so not going to complain about that.

My only problems are #1, the bobbin is very inconvenient when using the quilting table, and #2, I did not realize how difficult it would be to maneuver those heavy kingsize quilts around on the table.

Sure does build up those muscles! I am hoping that HQ will come out with a full-size quilting machine that I can use my Sweet 16 with. Also, just as an added note, some of the extras are not worth the cost of shipping them.

I threw away a few things, like the tiny scissors and the needle threader. They did not work AT ALL. Also, still waiting on my Stencil 2″ Heart Loop Border (SCO-03002). It has been several weeks now, so I guess I will email the company again.

Beautiful machine; horribly over-priced. I’m still on the table about the whole thing, but am using it anyway.

You people kill me with your ugly as sin sewing machine. And you obviously don’t want anything bad said about the product as you all but block a rating of less than 3 stars. I despise companies like your and would buy this ugly stain on the face of sewing machines, even if I was a rich man.

I wanted this machine for 3 years since seeing a demo at a show. I don’t have space for a stand-up longarm and as a senior, love that I can sit. I will say the most important things I learned is to practice, practice, practice.

I am not comfortable with the stitch regulator but have been told this will also come with practice. Overall, I definitely would recommend this machine. Oh, and splurge on the side table attachments and the table overlay- worth every penny.
