A little over 3 years ago, my best friend, Sandi, and I bought a Handi Quilter together. The first question most people ask us is “Are you still friends?” and the answer is unequivocally yes! In fact, I think that purchasing the machine has brought us closer after 24 years of friendship. I have been quilting for approximately 20 years now and hooked Sandi on the hobby about 8 years or more ago. The machine is currently residing at her house where we have ample space in her basement for storage, large quantities of batting, a cutting table, lights, etc. It gives us a chance to visit on a regular basis usually with me at the Handi Quilter and Sandi cutting one of her many creative quilts. The Handi Quilter has allowed us to finish many more of our quilts and added another layer to our art. We both work full-time at very demanding jobs and running the machine gives us a sense of freedom and takes away stress with every pass.

I own the following HQ machines:
