Handi Quilter training with the experts
When Handi Quilter educators come to the shop, it’s a chance to learn from people who teach longarm quilting for a living. These hands-on events help new owners get comfortable with their machines and help experienced quilters pick up new designs, techniques and Pro-Stitcher skills. Even if you don’t own a longarm yet, they’re a great way to see what’s possible.
