My Top 7 Necessities for Choosing a New Sewing Machine (as an Experienced Quilter)

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

New sewing room needs a new sewing machine. I jumped too when you used that stylus. Thanks for sharing.

I guess it was fate that Amelia is not fixable, it's very bittersweet though. I'm a fairly jumpy person but that scared me soooo bad!

How exciting! I have a needle threader like that on my new Brother embroidery machine and I love it. Congrats

I am so excited about all the extras! I am nervous to sit down and sew on it, I need to read all the directions first 😅

Speed is important to me so I purchased a Juki TL 2200QVP 1500st/min, it’s straight stitch mechanical so no learning curve and I have an industrial Juki J-150QVP 2500st/min. I use a short stitch length so it’s good to have the speed. I have a Bernina for buttonholes and zigzag which I rarely use.

Oh....I feel like a little kid just watching you open your machine....What is an up/down needle? I think once you have babylock you don't want to go to anything else in my opinion although credit to other machines...But babylock/brother are good for me and my needs. I embroidery and sew so I just bought an Aerial babylock. It does both and I love my machine. Yes I'd like a huge throat too like 4 feet wide...😅 Mine is pretty big as well. Have fun and I love your new sewing space....

Thanks! I dont know how to really explain it- my mom had a machine that didn't have a button for the needle to go up or down, you had to manually crank it to put the needle down and it would stop in whatever position it wanted. She had it for about 2 hours and returned it to get one that had a button. I like my needle to stop in the down position every time.

Great video! You look a lot like Tessa Violet :)

[@kayla_quilts]

Thank you! I had to go look at her, but I see it! ❤

[@martharuiz3613]

What have you named it?

[@kayla_quilts]

Don't have a name picked out yet, I do know I want to go with a feminine name.
