Thanks to needed feedback from helpful customers we discovered that our site was not able to be seen by some. Well, actually, if they had waited until their next birthday, it could have finished downloading, if there were no problems.

We have removed many of the graphics from the pages and have increased the response time many-fold. Please let us know what pages you are continuing to have problems with so that we may address any further situations.

Thanks☺

We have built a reputation of having high quality, fast turn-around long arm services. We also built a reputation of having fast, diverse, quality stitching designs with over 400 designs in our repertoire.

In conjunction with Accomplish Quilting, we are now selling Gammill automated [Statler Stitcher] and free-hand long-arm machines. If you are interested, give us a call. We’d be happy to assist you☺

Friday, June 16th is the date for this year’s Bluffton Festival of Wheels. Come on by and see the classic cars.

We long-arm well over 400 quilts a year. All are wonderful. Some are spectacular. Many are unusual.

There are many attributes that lead to this “difference”: design, color, placement, use of fabric, embellishment, piecing, customers’ reactions, being interesting, being unusual.

For example, last month one of our male quilters had a “fishing quilt” [not used for fishing, but a fishing theme and fabric] that practically stopped everyone who came by the long-arm it was on. [It goes without saying, almost, that it was handsomely enhanced by the use of one of our fishing stitching designs.]

We look forward to showing you pictures of some of these quilts in subsequent newsletters and posters☺

I used to think that Christmas buying at Thanksgiving was bad, let alone Halloween! But for quilters, the fabrics start arriving in late June and July to allow plenty of time to get those gift and special projects done by the holidays.

Last year, our Christmas long arm cut-off was November 19th. So plan ahead! ☺
