I have just taken up quilting and my sewing machine (lotus 1000) has been packing a hissy fit every time I try to quilt on it. when I do normal sewing it is fine its just the quilting.Can I quilt on this machine or will i have to resort to hand sewing.
The quilt is for my boyfriends mother, she has 6 kids and 4 grand kids so I wanted to make her a quilt with different photos on it of all of her kids and grand kids. I have no sewing machine and they are very expensive, especially this time of year when I have no money.. please give me some other creative ideas on how to put this together. Thanks!
I’ve been making handmade quilts for my daughter, nieces, nephews, etc. and I’m thinking of maybe selling some online now that I have a little more experience, but I have no idea how to price them. Is there some magic formula you use like
material cost x 250% = price + or – extent of design/time/work
I don’t want to over price them and I can’t really find any comparable quilts out there to get an idea from. I’m mostly making baby/infant/toddler quilts out of different materials cotton/flannel/fleece depending on the design. Any suggestions?
I should add I am not stitching these together by hand, I am using a sewing machine, but there is still a lot of work involved, the last one I made was 40" x 50" with 120 pieces just on the front panel
I don’t have any pics readily available, but the quilts I want to sell will be 30" x 40" in children’s/baby’s prints with coordinating colors. They are totally washable and usable, that’s my goal to make really cute, soft, cuddly, stylish blankies for kids to actually get some use out of.
The prices are similar and they both come with the extra quilting table….
I am a beginner and have never sewn anything before. I am wanting to make my own quilt.
I have a good basic sewing machine(babylock) so what would be a good reasonable machine that could do embroidery and machine quilting or would I need to just have 2 seperate machines? I am still new to sewing/quilting and would like a machine that’s fairly easy to use and easy on price.Any suggestions would be great.
I have never made any projects with quilting but I would like to start, I don’t have any experience in this area, but I do have a sewing machine and a quilt book, and I would like to do something with it. I have always like and admired quilting projects and I wanna to know which tools should I buy. What Are the Essential Quilting Supplies For Beginners?
My husband is getting me a sewing machine for my birthday and I’ve been eyeing this one on eBay as it seems a good price. I will be using it for making quilts and appliques.
Does anyone know of any much needed features on this machine (for quilting and applique) that I may be aware of? I am still a newbee to sewing and these techniques so any advice would be very much appreciated.
I’m making a T-shirt quilt (I’ve never quilted before) and I heard there is an attacment for your sewing machine that will keep the seam at exactly 1/4 in. Should I get it?
