Before renting a time – you need to take a longarm certification class:
- Price – $25
- 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 – $50- using advanced techniques (PantoVision™)
- Basic class must be taken first as you will be expected to know the basics before learning advanced techniques. You must be at a point where no help is needed to quilt on the Innova Longarm machines.
- Advanced class for AutoPilot™ is being created. This class is an extensive class and will cost $150.
