LONGARM RENTAL PROGRAM

Having fun constructing your beautiful quilt tops and now they sit in a pile to be quilted? Would you like to own every part of the quilt making process? Then consider renting one of our quilting machines so you can quilt your own top. All of our machines are stitch regulated for ease of use. It is quite easy, lots of fun, and you did it yourself! You can finish your quilt with free motion, pantogram, or groovy boards. With additional certification, you can use the computerized program and can easily size our built in computerized designs. These can be custom sized to fit your block's length and width or create a beautiful all over design with the push of a button or two! You must be certified prior to renting our machine!

  • Basic Certification

    You will be instructed on how to load and thread the machine, use the controls and play with stitching. You will then be certified to rent time on our Longarm to quilt your tops using free hand motion, a pantograph, or groovy boards. Class size is very limited, so enroll early!

And...as we envision this...we might just throw in some informal tips, techniques or sneak peeks at upcoming cool stuff.
