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.

all answers are much appreciated

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!

How do you price a handmade quilt?

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.

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.

Hi All,

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.

Thanks!!
MM
