Wind bobbins and quilt at the same time with the dual mast system.
If you are just learning to quilt with a longarm it is a great machine. There is no stitch regulation as it is a manual stitch machine. You have to learn how to regulate the size of your stitches with the movement of your hands on the machine. The speed at which the stitches are stitched coupled with the movement of the machine can be adjusted to get the size stitch you need per inch. I’d recommend getting the encoders to go with it or invest in the next step machine. Otherwise it’s a good investment. I think the ruler foot should be included as a standard part of the machine and it is not. Knowing what I know now, I would have purchased the ruler foot and the encoders at time of my purchase.
