A third meeting is held on the Monday immediately following the third Saturday at 10:00 a.m. You only need attend one. Finishing kits will be available as a finishing option for your quilt blocks.

Long Arm Corner

If you haven’t come in for a demo of the HQ Sixteen™, now is a good time. Don’t miss out on all the fun. You, too, can machine quilt your own quilts with this great and easy to use machine. Remember that the HQ Sixteen™ makes finishing your quilts fast and easy with its long arm capabilities and it is less than half the price of other machines available on the market. The Stitch Regulator provides precision stitch quality. Combine that with the optional Groovy Boards and anyone can be successful with this machine at their first attempt. We have Groovy Boards, including the newest ones, and other Handi Quilter accessories in stock. Recently added to our Superior thread lines is the Rainbow line –
Wow!

We have 3 long arm classes planned for the fall. One called, “So You Want to be a Long Arm Quilter?” is designed for those who do not own a long arm machine but are thinking about acquiring one. This will give you an opportunity to try your hand at it and to ask all those questions you have from an experienced long arm instructor.
