What is the difference between the SA187 and the SA188? I am looking to purchase the SE400 for quilting &amp; want to buy the most appropriate accessory

SA 188 is an open toe walking foot and SA187 is an open toe quilting foot. If you are doing straight stitching then a walking foot is a great tool since it has feed dogs of its own and can keep the fabric from shifting . If you plan to do free motion quilting or follow a pattern with curves, circles, leaves, etc. then the SA187 open toe quilting foot is the one to buy since it allows you to move over the design. The walking foot SA188 moves in one direction only. Both are good tools to have for quilting. It just depends on the type of quilting you want to do. I use either one of the feet depending on the type of quilting I am doing.

No. I would not buy this machine for all around quilting. I do small piece machine quilting and serge ring. I love my Janome Memory Craft 6600.machine to do bigger piece quilting and free motion. I bought Janome Jem Gold so if I am free motioning I don't have to change settings.

I have a brother LS-2125 and BL 137A2- it's also an embroidery machine. So far works great on both machines. Planning to try it on my singer CXL next week.

When looking at a serger you have to decide what features are you going to need. I recommend this serger highly. Juki is an excellent brand producing both home use and industrial use machines. The reason I bought the serger with the 8 piece foot kit was primarily for the piping foot, the cording foot and the gathering foot. Because the feet do not seem to be available separately, I thought the bonus package was a good deal. The value of the items included far exceed the extra charge.

Hey! Ive really never used the sE X1, but I must say that the sE 2200 a II it's really good, and it has gotten great reviews! So I went for that one!

Actually I see you have a detailed answer. If you have any need of further info let me know. I like them both. Quiet and well made. There not my Powermatic floor sander but a great product for the niche they fill in my shop.

Jose, I have both the Brother SE400 and the PE770. Neither one will embroider outside their fields. That is, the 400 will only embroider a 4 x 4 area and the 770 up to 5 x 7. You can buy adjustable hoops that you can adjust to use more than one pattern, but it will not increase the sizes. It is only helpful if you are sewing more than one pattern and you won't have to re-hoop. Hope that helps. Sandi

If you plan on using it for cutting large pieces the 48 is perfect. But I use it for a lot of different stuff and for the extra bucks for the 48 I felt it will be more versatile if I need it. Its like you said they're the same except for the 48 vs 36 .

My Janome Dcor sewing machine is still alive and well. However, about half a year ago I bought the Janome Craft 7700 QCP because quilting with the Dcor machine (6.5'' throat space) is almost impossible for anything larger than a baby quilt. I bought a model, which had just been replaced at a very good price. I am very happy with this new machine. It has so many more features (automated thread cutter, knee lift, throat space lighting!!, 11'' throat space [the new version has 12'' throat space but costs a lot more.] -- That is all I know about Janome machines. So far so good. Both Janome machines work like a charm. -- Ursula

I have a cs6000i Brother sewing machine and it does NOT fit on it. Don't know about SE-270 D

I also bought this for sewing and quilting. So far I am very happy with it. You can use it with and without steam. I also like that you can bypass the automatic shut off which is great for quilting. In the past I have had several Rowenta's and they all leaked water. I have had no leakage with this one. Very pleased.

I don't know what you mean by the 8 series. I looked carefully (zoom in to the photo) at the fitting shape matching it to other feet that I have for my machine......I love it for quilting and now all my seams are the SAME quarter inch.

One difference is the other model is for light to medium fabrics, but this one handles heavy ones as well, so it depends what you plan on sewing. For me it's worth the money to be able to sew pretty much anything.

The PE700II has computer connectivity which is probably the main reason for the price difference. You can purchase embroidery design CDs to use with the PE700II which gives you unlimited embroidery potential (be sure to buy designs in the PES format). The 700II is larger (17 x 12 x 8 compared to 13.63 x 10.7 x 10.8) but weighs 12 pounds less than the 700. You won't be sorry you spent the extra $$$.

well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare. The only real complaint i have is the rotating table, and the 0 point on it is not equivalent between a rotation to the right and the rotation to the left. I had to learn where the 0 was when i turned it. This is a simple and efficient tool for cutting some items for small jobs. If you need "exacting" quality, i would look elsewhere. GREAT for the price. Would imagine a slightly "newer" model might be better? Sorry, cannot comment on the 70716.

Poorly. Madiera is some of the best thread you can buy. This thread, unfortunately, must be poorly wound or poorly made ...about every third spool makes my Brother SE-400 machine jam up. It's very frustrating. I've started watching for when local fabric stores have Madiera or Sulky on sale and have been buying a few colors at a time.
