My Fusion is set up in my basement studio
I started long arm machine quilting (on a competitor's machine) in December of 2008. It has been a great hobby to compliment my wife's love for piecing quilt tops. We went on a charter bus trip to the Paducah Quilt show in April 2009. I was the only man on the bus along with 50 women (including the driver). I was interested in seeing the show, but thought my presence might curtail my wife's spending. A stop at the HQ booth shot that theory, but I am the one who ordered a new Fusion. I recognized the limitations of my present machine and was impressed by the Fusion demonstration. It had the HQ quality and support and all the features that I was looking for.
Since that time, I have taken several classes through my HQ dealer in Morton Illinois. My main practice experience has been finishing Project Linus quilt tops for my wife and also for the local quilting guild. I have finished at least 100 quilts for Project Linus and several other charities.

I own the following HQ machine: HQ Fusion
