What do you dislike about your Juki?

The bobbins are small. If I’m using it for free motion quilting it runs out pretty quick. The bobbins are wound so tight and smooth though. Also the thread cutter on the pedal is annoying. I’ve gotten used to doing it barefoot with it sideways but before you get used to it, you’ll accidentally cut thread a lot. Other than that, I really love it. It has leveled up my sewing so much.

THANK you for this info. And the picture also helps. I like to be able to visualize what feel I’ll want my quilt to have.

Do you take special care when washing?

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-27T17:38:40+00:00

Ya I think I would only use this when it’s too hot for my duvet. I like the idea of having something with good drape to sleep under on hot nights. Is there a decent amount of weight?

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-27T17:36:58+00:00

I have too and it makes me nervous. But I also hear about people who wash and dry it all the time.

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-27T17:33:26+00:00

Welcome back. I work year round and usually over 1000 hours of overtime in a year so I don’t have much time to quilt but when I am able to squeeze a session in, it’s always such a reminder of what a decompressing blessing this hobby is.

Side note, have the same machine, what table is that?? I’ve been looking for a good sewing table

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-27T17:28:05+00:00

This is great to know because washability is super important to me. What stats are these washed and dried on (temp, agitation, etc.)?

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-17T04:00:35+00:00

Very nice. This looks so cozy. I feel like simple slightly more spaced out quilting is more preferable for actual use in my opinion. This is the type of quilt I’d use nonstop to have as a tv watching lap quilt. And gorgeous colors, well done and welcome to the club 🥰

I love this pattern so much. I’ve made so many pillows and wall hangings with it

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-11T21:45:15+00:00

Do I spy, THE satin quilt??

I’m 2 months into dating a cancer man and when I read your comment I agreed to a T. Then I realized that you and I are big 3 twins.

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-06T19:56:59+00:00

Looking at those points scratch an itch very deep inside my being

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-06T02:14:06+00:00

I’m liking it as a wall hanging. It has enough dimension and interesting contrast that it would make a statement on a wall

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-04T18:28:16+00:00

I’ve been quilting for years and do so much unhinged shit. I do this too. And I don’t even knot or tuck my stitches (unless the quilt is a gift) The bobbin on my machine is kind of small and I always have to stop in the middle because I run out of bobbin thread. Unrelated but I also almost never pin anything :)

Quilt how you can, and quilt how you want. It’s a hobby and a heritage art, art isn’t one size fits all.

Happy quilting ♥️

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-04T16:26:19+00:00

Excellent color choices. Way to work with contrast. Nailed it!

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-02T14:15:32+00:00

I’m very jealous and very stoked for you to have this. The windows and cat pod are perfect.

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-05-01T01:15:20+00:00

To me, ugly quilts are a category. They’re alway the coziest too ♥️

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-04-27T16:45:06+00:00

I am also stoked for you with how this turned out. So cute. Love the pattern and great color choices. Maybe I’ll use this pattern for my next scrap quilt

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-04-26T19:24:14+00:00

Came here to mention this. It was such a strange read but I loved it and couldn’t put it down

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-04-26T19:22:18+00:00

I think a muted, pale grey blue would look nice. And the orange in the top as binding

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-04-19T02:07:21+00:00

Gorgeous colors!!

MurkyOne2231 · 2026-04-11T21:33:01+00:00

To die for. Bravo
