Intro to Longarm Quilting 

Thinking about getting into the Longarm Machine Quilting business, but not sure if you’ll like it or even be good at it…then this class is for you.  This is a 4 hour class in which you will get a basic overview of what being an entrepreneur/your own boss is all about. You’ll spend approx 3 hours of quality time on the machine learning some basic quilting techniques, an introduction to pantographs along with some simple free motion quilting.

 

Basics for Beginners 

Looking to learn the basics on how to use a longarm quilting machine. Whether you are just starting out in the longarm business or are enrolled in our Rent-A-Gammill program and want to learn more about the machine and what it has to offer, this class will teach you what you need to know from soup to nuts.

 

Fundamental Free Motion 

Not doing too much in the way of free motion quilting, but want to broaden your horizons and offer something different to your customers than just meandering or pantographs. Come and enjoy a fun filled day learning how to do some very fundamental free motion quilting which will include leaves, flowers, feathers, swirls & branching.

 

Basic Background Fillers 

Want to do more than just meander around the applique on your customer’s quilts…think outside your box and learn some fun, interesting and beautiful background fillers that your customers will love.

 

Hodge Podge 

This class is based on my book “Hodge Podge…A Unique Style to Free Motion Quilting”. Be inspired by this wonderful collage of quilting to create a beautiful edge to  edge design that will bring any quilt to life.
