Two-Day Hands-On Event

Whether you're curious about longarm quilting, considering purchasing a longarm machine, or simply looking to build your confidence and skills, this two-day educational event is designed to help you get comfortable with the art and technology of longarm quilting.

Day One: Longarm Quilting Fundamentals

Start your journey by learning the essential building blocks of successful longarm quilting. This class removes the mystery surrounding longarm machines by introducing the key components of the machine and frame system, explaining how they work together, and demonstrating how to properly load a quilt. You'll also gain valuable knowledge about thread selection, needles, tension, and other fundamentals that contribute to beautiful quilting results. Discover why Handi Quilter longarm machines and frame systems are favorites among quilters of all experience levels—designed by quilters, for quilters, with options available to fit a variety of spaces and budgets.

Day Two: Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy

Once you've mastered the basics, it's time to have some fun! Free-motion quilting is one of the most exciting and creative aspects of quilting, and it's easier than you might think. Learn how to create beautiful flowing designs by combining simple quilting elements into continuous patterns that travel across your quilt or fill specific areas. We'll explore how drawing exercises, repetition, and muscle memory help develop confidence and control, allowing you to stitch stunning designs with ease. You'll leave with practical techniques and inspiration to begin creating your own unique quilting motifs.

By the end of this two-day event, you'll have a strong understanding of longarm quilting fundamentals, increased confidence operating a longarm machine, and the foundational skills needed to begin creating beautiful free-motion quilting designs. Whether you're a beginner or looking for a refresher, this event is the perfect opportunity to expand your quilting knowledge and experience the possibilities of longarm quilting firsthand.
