Quilting

Longarm Quilting

What the heck is a Quilting page doing on a woodworking site you might ask?

Well, I’m interested in things that are artsy, so what’s more artsy than decorative stitching?

Besides, my wife likes to piece quilt tops and we felt that a longarm quilting machine would be a fun investment.

Here is a slide show of some of my projects.

I recently purchased a Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen sit down machine to do thread painting on. I had been using a Bernina 440 but found the available space limiting. Now I have 16" of throat space to do my thing with.
