Beginning Longarm Quilting Workshop for Renters: Full Day, 9am to 4pm. A great way to try before you buy or finish your own quilts without the investment! (Sit Down Quilting Machine Rentals: No class required! Contact us for details!) We supply all of the material for the morning portion of the workshop: practice quilts, backing fabric, batting, thread, binding, etc. Each student will learn to square, load and quilt on a practice quilt using our 3 Longarm Quilting Machines. We will teach you how to properly prepare a quilt to zip and load on the longarm using the Quick Zip System. You will learn how to handle a quilt that does not lay flat or square and get it under control using different types of batting and loading techniques. We will show you our easy tricks for squaring the quilt while basting, lining up a pantograph pattern and how to quickly finish a quilt by simply following the line of the pattern with the laser light from the back of the machine. Anyone can do it! We have renters from 8 to 80’s! After we have completed quilting the practice quilt, we will demonstrate adding binding, mitering corners and finishing the ends all with the longarm! We unzip the practice quilts, trim them and hand them off to our volunteers to hand sew the binding around the back so we can dontate them to a local charity. In the afternoon of the Beginning Longarm Quilting Workshop for Renters, we will prepare each student’s quilt for their rental day. You will learn to square the backing fabric and attach your Quick Zip System Rental Set, so you will be ready to zip and load when you arrive on your rental day. We will also help you pick out thread, batting and a pattern to compliment your piecing. During the afternoon, you will have time to pin your quilt while listening as the other students pick their patterns and threads, giving you great ideas for your next project. Some renters choose to bring 2 lap sized to twin sized quilts to class to prepare for their rental as most students can finish 2 smaller quilts the first day they rent! We share our tricks for this, as well! Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in registering for a workshop and rental. If you have any questions or would like to visit one of our studios, please phone ahead for hours. We would love to meet you! Quilt Happy at The Quilting Connection, LLC!

Beginning Longarm Quilting Workshop for Renters: Full Day, 9am to 4pm. A great way to try before you buy or finish your own quilts without the investment! (Sit Down Quilting Machine Rentals: No class required! Contact us for details!) We supply all of the material for the morning portion of the workshop: practice quilts, backing fabric, batting, thread, binding, etc. Each student will learn to square, load and quilt on a practice quilt using our 3 Longarm Quilting Machines. We will teach you how to properly prepare a quilt to zip and load on the longarm using the Quick Zip System. You will learn how to handle a quilt that does not lay flat or square and get it under control using different types of batting and loading techniques. We will show you our easy tricks for squaring the quilt while basting, lining up a pantograph pattern and how to quickly finish a quilt by simply following the line of the pattern with the laser light from the back of the machine. Anyone can do it! We have renters from 8 to 80’s! After we have completed quilting the practice quilt, we will demonstrate adding binding, mitering corners and finishing the ends all with the longarm! We unzip the practice quilts, trim them and hand them off to our volunteers to hand sew the binding around the back so we can dontate them to a local charity. In the afternoon of the Beginning Longarm Quilting Workshop for Renters, we will prepare each student’s quilt for their rental day. You will learn to square the backing fabric and attach your Quick Zip System Rental Set, so you will be ready to zip and load when you arrive on your rental day. We will also help you pick out thread, batting and a pattern to compliment your piecing. During the afternoon, you will have time to pin your quilt while listening as the other students pick their patterns and threads, giving you great ideas for your next project. Some renters choose to bring 2 lap sized to twin sized quilts to class to prepare for their rental as most students can finish 2 smaller quilts the first day they rent! We share our tricks for this, as well! Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in registering for a workshop and rental.
