If you'd like to quilt more quickly, with less wear and tear on your body, definitely consider switching to a longarm machine. Quilting on a frame - with the machine on wheels - is much easier than pushing your quilt over a table top. 

If your goal is to finish a lot of quilts in a short space of time, a longarm machine on a quilting frame will be the fastest, easiest way to quilt your quilts. Please click here to contact me with any questions you have.

Sit Down Longarm Quilting Videos

P.S. Are you looking for my Sit Down Longarm Quilting series? I shared weekly videos in 2017 to explore quilting on the Qnique sit down longarm machine. Watch the long arm quilting videos all linked together in this playlist:

Note: Grace Company no longer offers a sit down longarm quilting machine. We now have hoop frames which take up far less space than a sit down machine, and you can use your home sewing machine too! Click Here to check out our Hoop Frames.
