Since the last time I posted (I know…it’s been a while!), I have taken up long arm quilting. Somewhere along the line, I had this idea in my head that long arm quilting was “cheating”, and if a quilt was quilted on a long arm, then it wasn’t really “your” work. I could not have been MORE wrong.
The time and skill that go into this type of quilting is ridiculous! I also had no idea that there were multiple types of long arm quilting. I just assumed that all “long arm” quilting was a computer program that you just pressed play, and BOOM! it’s done. Once I realized there was a niche of long arm quilting that I would absolutely adore, I’ve been hooked ever since. (And plus…there’s no more basting with safety pins on your living room floor! You can’t beat that!!!)
The category of quilting that I specialize in is free motion quilting. That means no pantographs, no computer programs…just you and the machine. Your hands and brain putting the thread and needle to work to create something magical that can’t be duplicated.
