Baby Lock Sewing & Quilting Machines

Throat space is one of the biggest differences between quilting machines. Six inches works well for piecing and garments, while eight to ten inches gives larger quilts more room to move.

Look for features quilters actually use, including retractable feed dogs, a knee lift, automatic thread cutting, and a quarter-inch foot.

Start with the size of quilt you usually make, then choose the machine that fits your workflow.
