Poodles

I will probably be dead before I can afford one of those. I have been searching the internet for some manuals of some machines I traded people out of. Can you tell me where too find manuals for the Singers and New Home? Any help is appreciated.

I do some of mine on my home machine but I'm blessed with a cousin who has a longarm and she does beautiful work.

When I retired I bought a Grace frame and a Husqvarna/Viking
Mega Quilter. I used to do a lot of hand quilting, but no any more.

I use a either a Pfaff 1222E or my Viking Sapphire 875 to quilt my quilts. Anything larger than a twin size, I rent a long arm machine so I can quilt the larger quilts.
I accordian pleat my quilts and use the "Jaws" quilt clips and it works pretty well.

I have a Bernina 1230. What machine do you have Rexie?
some of the older models have a knob in under the throat plate behind the bobbin case to turn and lower the feed dogs.

Singer co.(google it) has manuals for sale & some free. lots of other sites on the internet for manuals. Sandman Collectibles is another one.

about half are done on my 1947 Singer 201, or 12 yr old Bernina. I love to machine quilt, butthe big ones go to the quilter.we have so many really talented long-arm quilters in our Guildl. figured I could send a lot of quilts out for the price of a machine--and they would do a much better job than I. besides, I would worry myself to death if I had to do someone else's quilt to pay for my machine. I'm about to try
a new method of feathers from a book soon to be published by
one of our Guild members. I'll pass on how it works for me.

I use my Juki but I do have a Little Gracie Frame to work it with, makes it a lot easier. Have done all sizes.

i haven't read the whole thread, but you can do a big quilt in sections or start in the center, as maride does. i used to do both.
