Frequently Asked Questions - Best for Quilting

The machines in this collection are curated for quilters' needs. They feature a large throat space and an included extension table to manage large quilts, high sewing speeds for fast piecing, and essential quilting feet like a walking foot and 1/4" foot.

A large throat space (the area to the right of the needle) is crucial for machine quilting. It provides the room needed to roll up and maneuver the bulk of a quilt, especially for larger projects like queen or king-sized quilts.

A walking foot (or even feed foot) has a set of feed dogs on the foot itself that work in tandem with the machine's feed dogs. This ensures that the top and bottom layers of a quilt "sandwich" are fed through evenly, preventing puckering and shifting.

Yes, most of the machines selected for our quilting collection include a 1/4" piecing foot. This specialty foot has a guide that helps you sew a precise quarter-inch seam allowance every time, which is the standard for accurate quilt block construction.

The machines in this collection feature a drop-feed function, which is essential for free-motion quilting. This allows you to lower the feed dogs and guide the quilt freely to create your own stippling, meandering, or other artistic quilting designs.
