Quilting machines are specialized sewing machines designed to create quilts by stitching multiple layers of fabric together. They can handle thicker materials and often come with features like adjustable speed, various stitch patterns, and larger workspaces to accommodate big projects. Some quilting machines are even computerized, allowing for intricate designs and patterns to be easily programmed. These machines can be categorized into two main types: domestic quilting machines, which are suitable for home use, and longarm quilting machines, which are larger and typically used in professional settings. Longarm machines provide more space and advanced features, making them ideal for quilting larger projects efficiently.
