Works for me and by the way, your quilt is so pretty, I bet your swish bargello would win for sure. My machine is very similar to yours and they are so light weight and not really for heavey duty sewing, but there are ways to work around that. I quilted my lone star on mine. Huggies, Fay

Your welcome. Just be sure to get the folded fabric under the presser foot just behind the needle so it will sit even wiht the thickness. It'll go right over the thickness and it ia a wide thickness, you should be fine. Good luck with it, Huggies, Fay
