Kay Francis with her Handi Quilter
My name is Kay Francis and I live in Horse Shoe, NC. I first became acquainted with Handi Quilter by an advertisement in one of the quilt magazines in April of 2003. I went to a local quilt shop to find out about this machine and they knew nothing about it. I then located Handi Quilter on the internet and learned about the machine. I ordered my machine in May of 2003. At that time they were not ready for shipment as they were still in the hands of the testers. My machine arrived in either October or November of that year. When my machine came, there were no dealers east of the Mississippi River. When I had questions, I called the Utah office. Everyone was very helpful in helping me and answering my questions. My first projects on the machine were just samples to learn to use the Handi Quilter. Then I moved on to work on the UFO pile that I had accumulated. Every month when I went to guild I would take one or two quilts that had been started many years before (now completed) for Show and Tell. I also do a lot of charity quilt work. This year the two quilting groups at our church decided to send 80 quilts to an orphanage in Ethiopia. Between December 2008 and May 2009, I quilted 50 of those quilts. We eventually sent 106 quilts for those children. This year we are making quilts for an orphanage in NC and two other charities. It gives me great pleasure to be able to help with these projects.
Thank you to all of you at Handi Quilter for all the advice and help you have given me over the past 6 years.
Sincerely,
Kay Francis
