I used a star to tie a house quilt and a heart to tie a baby quilt. Occasionally, I use a single decorative stitch motif to machine-tie a quilt. I selected the stitch I wanted by entering the stitch number on the typewriter-style number keys. The stitches are displayed in the diagram on the flip-up lid. The quilting stitches include a mock hand-quilting stitch for use with mono filament thread, two sizes of stipple patterns, and two sizes of blanket stitch. This model has over 400 stitches, if you count the regular and decorative stitches and all the letters and numbers in the five alphabets included. => Click here to see our review of the Janome HD3000 Keeping You In Stitches Through all the thread changes, the machine adjusted the tension automatically and performed flawlessly, giving me perfect stitches every time while piecing, quilting three layers, or doing fusible-web applique. I never had to adjust the tension, even though I switched back and forth from regular thread to mono filament to quilting thread to metallic thread. The screen also tells you the tension range it has chosen for you, and that feature worked perfectly. The stitch length, the width, and the needle position appear on the screen, and at the push of a button the screen displays the foot you should use to obtain the best sewing results. The 7530 has an LCD screen and a computer brain that makes life very easy. Once you’ve locked it into place, you then drop the feed-dogs and lower the three-position presser foot to the half-way position so fabric can move freely under the needle. Instead, the darning foot slips in easily and locks into place.īut that’s not the only surprising thing about the darning foot. But the darning foot was a surprise – it doesn’t snap on like the Pfaff feet, and it doesn’t screw on like a universal foot. I like the 7530’s easy-to-snap-on feet, and I like the fact that it will accept universal screw-on feet as well. You could use either style of foot on the 7530, but if you use a foot without the groove you can’t engage the Dual Feed. This extra foot pulls down from behind the regular presser foot to help feed the fabric through the machine evenly.īecause of the Dual Feed, each foot that Pfaff makes comes in two flavors: one that has a groove to accommodate the Dual Feed, and one without the groove (for their machines that don’t have this wonderful feature). The Dual Feed, Pfaff’s name for its built-in walking foot, is the feature that made Pfaff famous.
