Calendar of Events

The beginning Long Arm Classes are $75 per person and have only two people on each machine, in a hands-on, six-hour class. Classes are usually on a Friday  from 10:00 am – 3:30 pm. Payment is required at registration.

You will need to bring a blank, unlined sketchbook and a pencil.You also need to bring your lunch, or lunch money. We supply the quilt tops, backings and batting.

In the class you will learn how to load your quilt and the basics of using the machine, such as bringing up the thread from the bottom, starting and ending. We will cover basic free motion quilting such as all-over loops, swirls, loops and stars, etc. We will also cover using an all-over pantograph pattern— how to set it up and how to roll your quilt. You will use a laser light on the machine to follow the pantograph pattern.

By the end of class you will be able to quilt an all-over design on your own quilt
