Handi Quilter 'Hands-On' Van Event
TWO DAY LONGARM EVENT:
Day 1:
Does longarm quilting interest you, and you’d like to learn more about it? Or do you just want a review of longarm quilting basics? The first day we will remove the mystery of longarm quilting by explaining machine and frame elements and features, how to load a quilt, and vital facts about thread, needles, and tension. Quilters everywhere LOVE the excitement and fun of free-motion quilting – and it’s easier than you think! Create flowing designs by connecting simple design elements with continuous lines, traveling across the quilt or filling in a specific area. Learn how drawing and muscle memory contribute to beautiful free-motion quilting, and how you can create stunning designs. Lunch Provided!

| Instructor Bio: | From our Educator: I have always been a crafty DIY type of person who enjoys making things with my hands. My sewing journey began 26 years ago on industrial machines. I was the owner of a marine canvas shop where I created upolstery from canvas and vinyl for a variety of settings. This is where I fell in love with sewing and wanted to make things for my home and purchased a domestic machine. I made clothing and accessories before finding my love of piecing and creating quilts. Quilting on a domestic machine for most of that time I finally moved to a stationary HQ Sweet Sixteen ® long arm and then moved up to a HQ Forte ® long arm with Pro Stitcher ® Premium. I worked for a local sewing gallery for the past 4 years where I instructed new owners how to use their new machines and/or software. I also planned and taught many creative classes that focused on all the ways to use their sewing machines, embroidery machines and embroidery software program. I love teaching all types of classes and helping others to realize they too can “Make That”. |
