This technique has been requested several times! By using your embroidery capable machine and a standard hoop I can quilt a three-yard quilt in about 6 hours. The process is not super-fast buy it is fun and the designs come in several sizes. I will guide you through the process. If you are using a top, batting and backing no stabilizer is required.

If you have a project... anything you're working on or want to start that is happening in the hoop this is the class to join. Each student will be embroidering any project of the choice. It's the perfect time to catch up or start something new! In June, our featured project is a beginner?s block that we will incorporate into an elegant pillow or choose to make it much larger for another project of your choice.

"...The race is slowing down now, but not before I tell you that we have widebacks on special for you, in both the 108” AND 118” !  At 15% off when you give us the code:  WIDEBACK15.  We have a good selection for you in stock.  Hope you have a great week, remember the special financing offer (also good on the BERNINA 16 Needle PRO Embroidery machine, which Jan has lovingly named Big Bertha).  But so you know her footprint (hoof print???) is only 27” square, and she’s very happy in any corner of the room.  Don’t want her name to mislead you…she’s NOT that big!  Please come in for a visit, watch her being put through her paces, and see if any domestic machine could come close to finishing a project race with her;  I don’t think so!
