Your Favorite Sewing Machine Features
#1
I am hoping this thread will help me choose a machine to buy :)
What sewing machine features do you use most for piecing and quilting?
What features you consider a "must have" and which are "nice to have"?
Thanks!

Must have for FMQ- needle down, also love the thread cutter, push button start and stop, knee bar that lifts the presser foot. Don't have but wish I did- signal when bobbin is getting low. I forgot, built in walking foot is great.

My must haves were Needle Up/Down, needle movement left/right and ease of threading. I also wanted a built in dual feed so that limited my choices (Pfaff).
My bobbin low alert I have turned off - It tells me that is is low WAY before it is empty.
Good luck with your search.

I have 2 Juki TL98QE With Up/Down button,thread cutter - I seldom use- pressure foot bar to raise pressure foot - I don't use - gets in my way, FMQ foot,Walking foot,Compensating foot - use to make 1/4" seams, only straight stitches, if I want to do other stitches I have three others I can use. All of these have a lot of hours of use, before I bought the Jukis. These two are all I use, they work as long as I want to work.
