Click Here to check out the Grace Qnique 15R – This longarm is perfect for hobby quilters because it’s smaller, less expensive than you think, and easy to learn. The best thing about a longarm is it’s so much faster and easier to move over your quilt. But yep, it does take practice to be able to control it and stitch precisely!

I have my Qnique set up on the Q-Zone Hoop Frame. This frame can be set up as a sit down or standing frame. You can also use your home sewing machine on this frame and upgrade to a longarm machine later. Click Here to see how that works.

    As someone whom can never stitch perfect feathers this is fabulous! Can’t wait to try this out. It reminds me a bit of your lollipop design from years ago – a much used free-motion design!

      Awesome Karen! I’m so glad you like this one. I know it’s a bit weird, but it’s exactly what my starting feathers looked like once upon a time!
