Long Arm Quilting Classes
Long-arm quilting is the best way to machine quilt your quilts quickly and beautifully. Machine quilting on your home sewing machine is similar to drawing but you have to move the paper (fabric) instead of the pencil (needle in the machine). Quilting with a long-arm quilting machine brings you back to that familiar experience of drawing with a pencil.
At Fiberworks, we have two Gammill long-arm quilting machines set up in a large classroom for you to use. You can learn all the basics and much more from Laura Heine, an expert long-arm machine quilter. The Basic Long-Arm Quilting Class will give you the foundation needed to become a proficient long-arm quilter. Once this class is completed, you can rent one of our long-arm machines to finish your quilts quickly—or you'll be better prepared for making the decision to buy your own long-arm machine!
After you've learned the basics, Laura offers advanced long-arm quilting classes that teach additional techniques such as pantographs, advancing the fabric, cross hatch quilting, etc. Laura has also designed some patterns for creating rugs on long-arm machines.
