Hello out there...
New poster here. I was wondering if anyone out there does free motion
embroidery with a "regular" type sewing machine? I'm interested in learning
how to do this and just thought I'd ask for tips or clues for good books or
websites.
Thanks in advance! JJ

Free motion is normally only done with sewing machines. Embroidery
machines could not make use of that technique used for sewing
(embroidering) quilts, etc..
I may be mistaken about this....anybody else?

Hi John,
Sorry, I wasn't really clear. I just wondered if anyone out there on this
ng does this? I'd like to try this with my machine as it looks like a
challenge and fun. Thx! JJ

Probably break your needle. Tensions may need to be set differently or
not be settable. Tension is dependant on how hard you pull the fabric.
Some machines (like Brother) know what hoop you have installed and
will not even start without one.
Are you thinking of doing quilting style free sewing or embroidery? I
think if you make too thick a pile of thread you will have trouble as
in machine controlled patterns do.

OK, I'll watch for that.

I just have a regular sewing machine. There is no hoop to "install"...I'll
just be holding a regular
hoop like for hand stitching.

Just embroidery and monogramming. Only one layer of fabric with perhaps
stabilizer as needed. I've sewn through some pretty thick stuff with my
machine before. I needed to repair a leather backpack's clip. While I
wouldn't make a habit of doing that (it was pretty much the limit of what my
machine could handle), I at least know it can handle some pretty tough
sewing. ;-)
But I don't intend to be doing anything that will be hard on the machine
itself. More a matter of my own abilities.
Thx! JJ
