Long Arm Quilting Machine



So much at happened since my last post in December 2015 when I was revamping my space.  The purpose was because I'd purchased a long arm quilting machine and needed to make room!

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing, sewing on most of the machines at the Paducah quilt show last April.  After much consideration, I decided to purchase a Gammill Vision 2.0; 22" throat with 12 foot table.  This was partly due to space and the amount of arm reach I was comfortable with.

Because a lot of research wasn't available when I making my decisions, I made a few YouTube videos.  If you are considering a long arm machine, I hope you will view these videos.

Here are two more pictures.  The person who delivered my machine set me up with a sample
quilt on.  Then I stitched my first panto quilt.  I have quilted four quilts so far.  I'll get good photos
of them and make a post soon.

    1. Thanks Rhonda. I'm hoping to get a lot of tops quilted. I just finished #7. Now I need someone to bind them. LOL I have three that need binding cut and sewn.
