Love Your Quilting: An Autumn Longarm Taster Day - Try Before You Buy!

Stop dreaming about finishing your quilts and start doing it!

Are you tired of struggling to fit a large quilt through a small domestic sewing machine? Join us for a special Autumn-themed "Introduction to Longarm Quilting" workshop. Whether you are a total beginner or curious about upgrading your studio, this session is designed to show you that anybody can quilt - no "artistic" genes required!

What’s in Store?

This is a hands-on "Try Before You Buy" event where you get to be the driver. We will guide you through:

• The Stand-Up Experience: Learn to glide across the fabric on the HQ Amara 20” and the nimble HQ Moxie and Moxie XL.

• The Sit-Down Style: Discover the comfort and control of the Amara ST and Moxie ST stationary machines.

• Technique Sampler: Try simple free-motion designs from the front, follow a Pantograph (pattern) from the back, and get a "sneak peek" at Pro-Stitcher computerised quilting.

• Make & Take: Create your own cosy Autumn-themed Placemat while testing the machines!

Event Details

• Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate. No prior longarm experience necessary!

• Cost: £25 per ticket

• The Vibe: Fun, low-pressure, and full of "Aha!" moments.

Why Join Us?

Longarm quilting isn't just about finishing quilts faster; it’s about making the process joyful. Come spend a session with us, play with the industry's best machines, and leave with a beautiful Autumn project ready for binding - plus the confidence to take your quilting to the next level.

Note: Space is strictly limited to ensure everyone gets plenty of "needle time." Book your spot today!

Session 10am to 2pm. Includes drinks and light buffet lunch!
