Extra Quilting Tips to Level Up

Ready to dig deeper? Here’s how to push your quilting further, no matter your setup:

Perfect Your 1/4-Inch Seams: Accurate seams are quilting gold. Mark your machine’s throat plate with our magnetic seam guide at 1/4 inch or use a quilting foot. Test on scraps—consistency turns good blocks into great ones.

Tame Tricky Corners: Clip threads and press seams open before pivoting at corners. A stiletto helps feed fabric safely for crisp points—ideal for star blocks or pinwheels.

Boost Free-Motion Flow: Drop your feed dogs and practice a simple loop-de-loop on a quilt sandwich. Start slow—speed comes with muscle memory.

Stretch Your Scraps: Sort scraps by color, then chain-piece them into improv strips. Join strips for a quick quilt top—your stash deserves the spotlight.

Maximize Your Current Machine

Your starter machine—perfect for piecing your quilt top. Give it one more hurrah before dreaming bigger. Your next quilt can still stun with what you’ve got! Once ready to add batting and backing, it is great to have these additional features.

Your Starter Machine Did Its Job—Now Aim Higher

That first machine—maybe a SINGER® buzzing through fabric or a PFAFF® nailing every stitch—got you here. It’s seen late nights and proud finishes. But now? Its small throat space cramps your big quilt ideas, and free-motion quilting feels out of reach.

You’re piecing faster, dreaming bigger. It’s time for a machine that keeps up—wider harp space, even feed, and power for thick layers. Your next project could be your best yet with the right upgrade.

Questions and Answers for Quilters

Answer:

You’ll feel it when your projects outgrow your machine. Are you wrestling with thick quilt batting layers? Struggling to quilt larger designs because of a cramped throat space? Or maybe your machine balks at the pace you want to sew? Those are signs you’re ready for an upgrade. A powerhouse like the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® EPIC QUILT™ 97 Sewing Machine gives you the power and space to match your growing skills. If you’re dreaming bigger—say, a king-size quilt—it’s time to explore what’s out there. Check out our lineup and see what fits your next adventure!

Answer:

Layering quilt batting can turn cozy dreams into a puckered mess—unless you’ve got the right tools. Start with a walking foot to keep layers even; it’s a game-changer for thick fabrics. Machines like the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® EPIC QUILT™ | 97—have a built in Integrated Dual Feed System that works like a walking foot and you’ll glide through without a hitch.

EXCLUSIVE SENSOR SYSTEM™ TECHNOLOGY automatically detects and adjusts to different fabric thicknesses for smooth feeding while sewing. This technology includes features like Sensor Foot Lift, Sensor Foot Pressure and Sensor Foot Pivot allowing you to keep your hands on your fabric.

Checkout our PFAFF® and HUSQVARNA® VIKING® machines that come with this advanced feature.

Answer:

Free-motion quilting is all about freedom—but it’s tricky if your setup fights you. Drop your feed dogs, use a darning foot, and practice on scraps with a simple swirl. The real secret? A wider throat space gives you room to maneuver. Start small with a lap quilt (check mySewnet™ for free patterns), and let your hands guide the fabric. A machine with adjustable speed control helps too—keeps things steady while you find your rhythm. Ready to dive in? Explore our machines for the perfect partner.

Answer:

Big quilt patterns—like that quilting template design you’ve been looking at making—demand more from your machine. A narrow harp space (under 5 inches) cramps your style, making it hard to maneuver bulky fabric. Older models might lack the motor power or feed strength to handle multiple layers smoothly. A newer machine with a wider throat and beefier motor, powers through without skipping a beat. Compare your current setup to our upgrade options in our chart—see the difference for yourself!

Answer:

Your toolkit deserves some love as you grow. A rotary cutter and cutting mat are must-haves for precise quilt fabric cuts—our bundle makes prep a breeze. Quilting templates from mySewnet spark creativity for modern quilt patterns. And don’t skip a walking foot—it’s your ticket to smooth, pucker-free layers. Pair these with a machine like the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® OPAL™ 670 Sewing Machine, and you’ve got a setup that’s ready for anything. Browse our accessories to stock up—little tools, big impact!

Answer:

Choosing quilt batting is like picking the perfect stuffing for your quilt sandwich—it’s all about feel and function. Cotton gives a classic, flat look—great for wall hangings. Polyester adds loft for cozy throws. Wool is warm and drapey, ideal for bed quilts. Test thicknesses with your machine; if it struggles, a walking foot or even feed system (think PFAFF’s® IDT) helps. Start with a lap quilt to play with options—our machines and accessories make layering easy. Your next masterpiece deserves the right fluff!

Answer:

Absolutely—speed and quality can coexist with the right setup. A dated machine might max out at 600 stitches per minute, but a newer model hits 1,100 SPM, cutting your piecing time down. Adjustable speed control keeps you in charge, so curves and details stay sharp. Faster stitching is just an upgrade away!

Answer:

New quilt patterns—like a patchwork quilt pattern with curves—don’t have to feel daunting. Start small with a table runner or lap quilt; mySewnet’s™ free quilt patterns are a perfect launchpad. Break it into steps: cut with a rotary cutter, piece with steady stitches, and quilt with confidence. A machine with a wider harp space and even feed—like the Opal™ 670—makes tricky bits smoother. You’ve got this—grab a pattern and some quilt fabric, and let your skills shine!

Answer:

Polished quilts on a basic machine take a little finesse. Use a rotary cutter and cutting mat for clean edges—precision starts there. Adjust your tension and stitch slowly for even seams. A walking foot helps with quilt batting layers, but if your machine’s throat space is tight, big quilts get messy fast. That’s where an upgrade shines—the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® SAPPHIRE™ 930 has precision and space to elevate every finish. You can make it work now, but a new machine takes “polished” to pro level. Shop our lineup and see!

Answer:

Heavier threads—like those fun 12-weight ones for texture—can trip up older machines. They need more tension tweaking and a stronger motor to pull through quilt fabric and batting. A basic model might jam or skip stitches, especially without adjustable pressure.

Both PFAFF and HV have features that measure thread thickness to allow for even thread portioning, eliminating thread jamming or skipping due to thread weight.

Test your current setup, but if jams persist, explore our upgraded machines for a smoother ride!
