Hi,
I was wondering if blanket stitches appear different on different machines. I know a lot of you own various brands of machines. Is there a brand of machine that has a blanket stitch that is better than blanket stitches on other machines?
I have never really been happy with the stitch quality on the one that I use and wondered if all stitches are the same. This is important to me because I mostly do applique quilts.
I would appreciate your opinions.
Thanks,
Janet

Can only speak for my Bernina 150 (Quilters Edition) and Viking Sapphire 850. Both have very dependable blanket stitches that can be adjusted for width and length and include versions that are double stitched and quite decorative. What you need to look for is a machine that produces consistent results. I have had older mechanical machines that did not feed evenly.

I was not able to narrow the width on my stitches [button broken] on my old, trusty Kenmore machine. And, because I can't thread a needle very well anymore, I bought a new Brother 6000i at Walmart. It is amazing how much better the stitches on that machine are. And I just love the needle threader on it.
