Is the machine capable of a basting stitch? I see that the stitch length/width cannot be adjusted...

The machine has 3 straight stitch settings, 6 stitches per inch, 10-11/inch and 18/inch. If I need to baste, I just use the 6 stitches per inch and loosen the tension slightly so I can pull the threads out when I am done. Hope that helps!

This machine is not for this purpose. I can recommend a "stand-alone" machine. It is Janome E for embroidery. It is the best stand-alone out there and it will do a lot of what you want to do. One of the reasons I like and insist on a stand-alone, is I can sew on my machine and have my Embroidery machine do an entirely different project - at the same time. If you get a sewing and embroidery combo....it ties you up doing one project at a time. I HIGHLY recommend that you get a separate machine just for embroidery.

Hi, there are 3 stitch lengths , a small, medium and long. there is no indication what the sizes are per inch...but the medium is what I use for most of my projects, the large is more of a basting stitch and the small for fine and small areas. I hope this helps/ It is a great machine... Christine

No, only if you slide the card down so it curves. The bottom row of stitching under the drawstring is 2 & 1/2 inches. But make great sachet bags. Hope this helps. Liz G.

Deena I, A larger hoop will not make a machine sew a larger design. It allows you to do a design, then move down, and do another design without re-hooping. You will still be limited to the size of embroidery the machine currently does. Thank you,

Hello, The length can not be adjusted. This is what I did I tied a knot to the length I wanted it has worked well for me. I hope this helps.

Yes, the sewing machine can sew with a variety of needle sizes and thread thicknesses including standard thread found at fabric stores. Thread tension will have to be adjusted to appropriately handle the lighter threads. Also, recognize that this machine will have a much heavier "industrial" feel to it than the standard household sewing machine and it offers only straight and zig-zag stitches. Although the needles can easily be found online, your daughter may not be able to find the appropriate needles at her local fabric store. A more refined and customized version of this machine is sold by Sail Rite and is called the LSZ1. The Sail Rite website will include numerous videos which will fully detail the capabilities of this machine.

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

No it does not.Please call me 800-487-7397 Monday If you are interested I do have other machines. This is a great machine you can add stitch Regulator if you have a frame for it. Thanks Lisa

no it seems the machine doesn't work in that sense, at least not for me. They lied about that. I haven't used it since a week after I got it because it's too easy and can not be adjusted. I would not recormend buying this machine...

Hi there. I took a good look at the front and back and it looks like you can do this. There are two rows of stitching for each section and the threads are fairly thin - you will need to use a seam cutter (sewing item). It does look as if you can remove them and create one large section. Note - there is a zipper for both sections and the bottom one is close to where the section starts - does not look like it would interfere with your trying to make this a one section bag - just don't open the bottom zipper.Regards

It can't be adjusted. When the sewing machine platform is in the low position, it is just under 3.75" from the table top. When it is up, it is the same height as the table top.

Sorry, haven't tries yet but have used to mend and make large pillows. Maybe i am uncoordinated but I find it challenging to hold the machine and keep the fabric straight--takes practice!

I did not keep that sewing machine so I do not know if you can change the presser feet out. I wanted a more heavy duty machine and even though they described it as being something that would do seveal different things once I received it I realized that it was more like a childs beginner sewing machine. It did not have a regular sewing machine foot. It was a small plastic one and it is very small machine so if you are wanting to sew more than the basic materials I don't think it will do it. Sorry but maybe this will give you a little more information about it.

Linda, You may vary length and width on most stitches. On the stretch stitches the length is pre-set. Thankyou, Stephen

You can't adjust it through the machine. You have to use photoshop or some other editing software. Whatever software you use there should be a auto adjust just click that and it should adjust it automatically. I hope that helps. Good luck.

If the design fits into the frame the machine will stitch it. It's based on the dimensions of the design not the amount of stitches.
