Do you want to quilt your own quilts on a long-arm machine? Don’t have the room? Take our Handi-Quilter rental class and then you can come and quilt your quilts on our big machine. The class is $110 and runs from 10:30-3:30, practice quilts, batting and thread are supplied, just bring a notebook and pencil.

Classes can be booked at your convenience with adequate notice.

The Long Arm Rental Classes are $110 per person and have only two people on each machine, in a hands–on, five-hour class. Classes are from 10:30 am – 3:30 pm the day of the week varies, but if you have a date in mind you can call and book ahead. 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 do have a fridge and microwave available. 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.

Once you’ve taken the basic Long Arm Class, we invite you to rent a long arm machine by the hour and get those quilt tops made into quilts! The machines rent for $20/hour. Machine rental is by appointment and the hours are flexible. We have lots of pantograph patterns available to purchase and we are willing to order others if you find something you would like to quilt.

You will need to bring in your own tops and backs to quilt after you have taken the class. We do sell batting, so you may purchase batting from us, or you may bring in your own.

Welcome Fall with our “Hello Fall” wall hanger or table runner. The design can be sewn in the 5×7, 6×10 or 7×12 hoop. This is a ITH in the hoop machine embroidery design

The wall hanging / table runner requires 3 hoopings as there are three different blocks included. The panels are then joined together and the backing is added using a sewing machine.

The finished runners dimensions are:

• 5×7 = 38cmL x 18cmW (15” x 7”)
• 6×10 = 46cmL x 20cmW (18.5” x 10”)

Chances are, if you’ve been to a retreat, you have seen this bag.

The Tidy Tote allows you to pack all the things you need for classes and retreats, and keep them in one place, right where you need them.  No need to ever unpack again – just zip and set up next to your machine.  Never forget a thing again.

The Tidy Tote by Anita, is proving very popular with quilters across the world. Even those whose hobbies are not sewing can use the Tidy Tote to hold all their essentials to take to classes.  I have one for quilting, one for painting and of course one which holds everything I need to teach classes as I travel around the country.

The pattern is very detailed with full colour images and two size options for the Tidy Tote itself and two sizes of the Tidy Tote Baskets.

There is an orientation on Wed Nov 15th 10:00-11:00 AM, if you cannot make it, please leave your email so that we can get you the prep instructions.
