Sorry, I can't seem to reply directly to questions anymore, so this is the best I can do. Yes, the Machingers quilt gloves are made specifically for quilting. You can get them at quilt shops. As far as the Pfaffs go, I love my Pfaffs, but Pfaff stopped making that line of machines years ago. So, I have been buying them up very cheaply on ebay. I have 7 of them now and they are all basically the same machine.

What a wonderful module for beginners. Excellent presentation. Thank you so much for putting it together. I'm eager to learn how to do this!

Thanks for such a well thought out video for us newbies at quilting. This has given me a positive attitude to 'go for it' and stop putting myself down for having a basic machine or not the right skills to achieve my goals of making a quilt for each of my five children. You are appreciated, Patsy!

Some time you Should make a video and explain what features each one has to offer cause i am looking for another Pfaff so i have one ready to go to a class with. and i wanted to know what are your favorite two machines out of all 7 of your pfaffs. it would be very helpful to see what your machines have to offer. my grandma has a pfaff expression 2034 and a Creative 1471 i love the 2034.

Patsy...You rock! I've been afraid to try free motion and drop feed dogs, etc. I am now going to give it a try. I'm excited...and yes..a bit leary, but with the test blocks, I'm going to make it work. Practice...practice and I'll practice till I get it right. thank you so much for the great beginning videos. I watch them over and over. Keep them coming.

thank you so much for your tutorials. I have been searching for some for a tutorial that would be more than 2 minutes long not one is as concise as you are-thankfully I came across yours. You're so informative and detailed, thank you again for the info on quilting, I am just beginning to quilt as I have been a sewer of garments for years now and I just am hooked on quilting(never thought I would be lol) Now I know it can be done &I don't have to spend the earth on a quilting machine :-)

What a great series. Thanks so much. Just to let ladies know, if you hit the dollar stores at gardening time they have gardening gloves with sticky plastic fingers and palms which work just great in place of the more expensive quilting gloves.
