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?

Quilters everywhere LOVE the excitement and fun of free-motion quilting – and it’s easier than you think!

Karen was fascinated with longarm quilting and rented a machine in 2008 at a local quilt shop. In 2010 she purchased her own longarm machine and began a professional career as a longarm quilter.
