Is Singer Fashion Mate 5560 Good for quilting?

Place the darning plate into position over the machine's feed teeth, which prevents the feed teeth from coming in contact with the fabric. Use this for free-motion sewing like stipple quilting, monograms and even for sewing on buttons.

Is Singer 5560 Heavy Duty?

The heavy duty metal frame helps ensure long lasting durability. The removable storage compartment easily slides off the machine, giving access to the free arm for sewing cuffs, sleeves and other smaller projects.
