Need advise - looking to machine quilt .
#1
Want to machine quilt a strip quilt I'm throwing together. I have a Pfaff sewing machine. Do I make longer stitches than I would normally sew with?? Do I need to change the tension?? Any advise would be helpful. Thanks!

I make my stitches a little longer to quilt, but I don't know if that's the normal thing to do. My control seems to be better if I do. I also use a walking foot, which makes all the difference in the world! Good luck. Be sure to post a picture when you're done!

I have a Pfaff 7570 that I piece and quilt with. I usually lengthen my stitch to about 3 or 3.5. So far I haven't had to mess with the tension. I piece at 2 or 2.5. Hope this helps. This is not for FMQ tho.
