Customer reviews
Good introduction to longarmquilting
Kim presented a very interesting workshop with meaningful exercises to get accustomed to working on a longarm for beginners. There were enough longarms available so that each of us could work on one without waiting for others. What could be better next time: Shorten the introduction, so that there will be more time available on the the machines to practise and integrate the exercises into the handout. Thank you!
