Friday Facebook Live 15th July 2022 - Stuart Hillard, Bobbinwinder, Festival Classes and Tips

Roundup of the week at Pinhole Quilting including a wonderful day with Handi Quilter Ambassador Stuart Hillard on Monday with lots of customers trying out the longarms. Read all about it on our Pinhole Quilting Blog - https://longarmlearning.blogspot.com/.... We covered using the Handi Quilter bobbinwinder and some trouble-shooting on that. Tips for making it work as we would want to so that we don't have issues with the tension which can cause thread breaks. We also covered the hook assembly and a bit about the timing of the machine. There was a "timely" reminder that basting down the sides of the quilt is a good idea plus always use a ruler foot when you are using rulers / templates. Don't leave any pins in your quilt either 🙂 We talked about prelovedlongarms on our www.prelovedlongarms.co.uk website - two Avantes were sold this week through the site and more machines are due to be listed soon so keep an eye out on the site or let us know what you are interested in. That way when machines come in we can put you in touch. Festival of Quilts is in August - we're going to have a blast in the workshops with Handi Quilter Ambassador and Educator Lynda Jackson and Handi Quilter Educator Abigail Sheridan de Graaff BEM. They are award-winning quilters and will give you a great introduction to longarm quilting! Don't hesitate to call us if you'd like a demonstration of our longarm machines.
