You’re Invited

Do you ever doubt your ability?

Having had the shop for 12 years now we often reflect on conversations that we have had in store with customers. We discuss these conversations and try to problem solve – working out ways to help fix these frequently discussed issues.

One of the most frequent conversations is customers who say ‘I don’t quilt my own quilts because I’m not very good at it’ or ‘My machine can’t do that’ or ‘It doesn’t work when I do it’ and many other comments similar to this.

When we talk to each person we discover that it isn’t that they are not ‘able’ to do the quilting, it isn’t that they don’t have the skills, it is more a case of the ‘tools’ they are using are not right for the job to help them.

Therefore, the customer is usually spending a substantial amount of money on professional machine quilting to finish their quilts when all they really need to do is upgrade their sewing machine so that they can do it themselves with confidence. A case of getting the right tools for the job!!

We have on display in the shop several projects made using designs stitched out from the embroidery machines. These designs have been used in quilts, table runners etc. So many people are not aware that you can use an embroidery machine to make quilts as well. They look amazing and add a whole new range of creativity to your work. Did you know there are machines that sew, quilt and embroider too? What!! that is amazing, one tool for all of those jobs.

Have you thought about how great it would be to have a wide throat on your sewing machine? A wide table to rest your work on while quilting. A machine with fantastic lighting. A machine that can sew wide stitches for your for borders and sashings. A machine that has the ability to sew sideways motion to enable you to quilt your borders without ever turning your work. Or a machine that can sew quilt stencils on your work. All of these questions and more can be solved by upgrading your machine and will help you to be able to finish your quilt yourself ‘I made it, start to finish’ what a wonderful accomplishment it is to do the whole project and very rewarding too.

If you add up the cost of professional machine quilting, it soon becomes clear that you could put that money towards a new machine that will enable you to quilt like a professional too.
