Why contact a longarm quilter?

Janet-Lee Santeusanio

Professional machine quilting provides several benefits for you. Many people thoroughly enjoy making quilt tops. Quilters spend hours and hours researching quilt patterns, fabric and color selection. Sometimes special tools, templates, and notions are used in the completion of a quilt top. Careful thought and preparation goes into each quilt top for that special someone. Barely a top is completed when the creative juices want to plan the next project for the next special occasion. Rather than have another incomplete quilt, team with a longarm quilter to complement your work and make your quilt top a quilt for many generations to come.

Great Expectations
What to Expect
A Machine Quilter’s Perspective

Janet-Lee SanteusanioThe machine quilting industry has grown significantly in the last 10 years allowing most piecer’s to find one or more machine quilters within a reasonable driving distance. Nonetheless, some still prefer to mail their quilt tops out of the area because of lead time issues, quality of work or simply personal preference. In last year’s Professional Longarm Yellowbook we helped quilt piecers assess longarm quilters by giving them the information they needed to make informed choices. FULL STORY

The Greatest Job on Earth

Mindy CaspersenWhen I was 15 I got my first job. I worked at a fast food, burger chain. It was the greatest job in the world….except for the grease! That stuff was everywhere! On the floor, on my face, in my hair. Yuck. But, anyway, I got paid minimum wage, which was a lot of money to me at the time. My family and friends came to visit me at work and they were my customers, too. The most frequently asked question at the time was, “Do you want fries with that?” Most often the answer was “Yes, please.”
