will this machine do free-motion quilting

Yes it will. Lower the feeder feet and use a quilting foot. I do have to say it works better with smaller projects than bigger ones. However, if you can do your quilt in segments, quilt them first and join them later it does fine. There are videos on youtube that show you how to do this.

I have a Brothers PQ 1500S straight stitch sewing machine. It works very well but because the harp is only 9 inches, you only get 5 inches of sewing space before you have to roll the quilt for the next section you intend to quilt. Hope this helps. I love my frame.

Walking foot, free motion foot and straight stitch quilting foot. This machine has one stitch. The feed dogs can be lowered for free motion quilting.

From what I understand of your question, no. A Teflon foot would accomplish this. Or is PUL came packed with tissue paper, keep the tissue paper under it except when it approaches the needle. The supreme slider reduces the friction between the fabric and and machine surface, letting you more easily free motion quilt.

I don't see any reason why not. I don't sew, but I can tell that the fabric is not too heavy for a sewing machine. It looks like a winning solution to me.

Yes you can. I have the machine and the free motion foot included. Please let me know if interested. Thanks Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

It is free motion. It is controlled by your movement. So anyway you move your hands up, down or sideways it will move. It sits upon two pieces of PVC pipe. It is the best product for quilting out there. Works Great!!

Yes it does. And we do have a quilting foot that is for free motion. The part # is 40052013 and here is a link to it: http://www.shopjoya.com/p-36884-juki-quilting-foot-for-hzl-35z-25z-k65-k85.aspx. Just lower your feed teeth when using this foot.

I love it for quilting. The tension is good and no skipped stitches at my house.

My Janome Dcor sewing machine is still alive and well. However, about half a year ago I bought the Janome Craft 7700 QCP because quilting with the Dcor machine (6.5'' throat space) is almost impossible for anything larger than a baby quilt. I bought a model, which had just been replaced at a very good price. I am very happy with this new machine. It has so many more features (automated thread cutter, knee lift, throat space lighting!!, 11'' throat space [the new version has 12'' throat space but costs a lot more.] -- That is all I know about Janome machines. So far so good. Both Janome machines work like a charm. -- Ursula

I do free motion quilting with my machine. The tension must be adjusted: I use 7 or 8. For regular stitching a 4 or 5 tension works fine. If the tension isn't adjusted, I get eye-lashing on the back of the quilt if I'm doing circles and tight curves. I always make a sample quilt sandwich of each project to test the tension. I use a SewSlip glide sheet over the stitch plate to help move things evenly.

I've made several quilts with this machine. There was no problem stitching over multiple seams when machine quilting or through layers of quilt top, batting, backing and binding when finishing the edges. I find it dependable and easy to use.

I don't know much about machine quilting as I use a 1950's Singer featherweight machine for piecing and then do all quilting by hand. I suppose if you can use a hoop type frame that this would be similar. I use this frame for quilting and other hand needlework.

I think it might just do - I have this machine and love it. But for Queen sized quilts, you might want a machine with a longer harp area but this machine has about a 9" harp, and there are others out there with a couple more inches - such as the Janome 7700, and also models in the Viking, Pfaff, and Bernina lines, as well as Babylocks and Brothers.

It does. I wouldn't buy this machine for even for free of charge. Its high wear and tear parts are made of plastic won't last long.
