Free-Motion Quilting on the Amara

 

I “LOVE” to Quilt, and would be delighted to assist you in completing your Quilting project of love!

I operate a 20 inch Handi Quilter Amara and a18 inch Handi Quilter Avante’ which was recently equipped with a computerized Pro-Stitcher for automated quilting. Both machines are on a 12 foot frame (machine-quilting table) accommodating king size quilts.

  • Binding fabric (if binding is requested)

Quilt Top and Backing Prep

  • Both should be clean and pressed. Please put on a hanger instead of folding if you are dropping them off.

  • All seams should be flat - open seams preferred.

  • All threads should be clipped and removed. If using white fabric on top, please ensure that colored threads are not visible from the bottom

  • All basting threads and pins should be removed

  • Backing and batting should be 8 inches longer on each side of top

  • Quilt top must be flat and square with no fullness in the blocks. If blocks are not square and the same size throughout quilt, it will have puckers. If puckers are found after quilt has been loaded and partially quilted, it is up to the longarmer to determine how to proceed with the quilt.

ALL DESIGNS WILL BE DISCUSSED AND AGREED UPON PRIOR TO QUILTING

If you need help with design ideas, I have many books with designs and will be happy to brainstorm with you.
