Click here for our introductory pricing which is in effect through the end of 2017: RENTAL PRICING
Before renting a time – you need to take a longarm certification class:
- Price – $25 – and you will then get a $25 credit towards your first longarm rental
- This class will teach you the following:
- Squaring up the quilt top and backing
- Loading the backing batting, quilt top and thread
- Thread tension
- Starting/Stopping Stitches
- Free motion quilting
- Advancing the quilt
- Steps to take if thread breaks or bobbin runs out
- Removing quilt from the frame
- Once these items are mastered, you will be given a “certificate” allowing you to rent a machine.
- This class is required to rent a machine. Even if you have longarmed before – you need to learn about the Innova machines before you can quilt on your own.
Advanced class:
- Price – $25 – gives you another $25 credit towards your first longarm rental using advanced techniques (PantoVision™, AutoPilot™)
- Basic class must be taken first as you will be expected to know the basics before learning advanced techniques
- You may pick either PantoVision™ or AutoPilot™
