Prices for new longarms will be phenonemal. If you can't wait for expo to get your new longarm, definitely come and see us, and we will work something out with you.HANDS-ON HQ EDUCATION EVENTOur Dec. HQ Education event went so well, that we will be hosting another one with twice as many seats available. This Handi Quilter Education Event will be held in May (14th-17). We learned a lot from our December event. First and foremost we learned that we want to break the event up into 2 seperate (2 day) sessions, for our different levels of students.So, for May you will see that there are 2 sign up options for HQ Education events on our website, each titled: Try Before You Buy and Owner Confidence Building (May 14th-15th)Intermediate, Advanced (May 16th-17th)The first 2 days (May 13th and 14th) will be for anyone who has EVER wondered about owning a longarm, giving them the chance to try before they buy. It is also a perfect 2 days for longarm owners who want to boost their confidence and learn more tricks and tips. The second 2 days are for our most seasoned, and experienced long-armers who would like to get more from their machines.Sign up today, as the seats have already started selling.QUILTING SERVICESYou may bring in those quilts you have been finsihing up. We are back on our 3 week turnaround, maybe even faster. We LOVE seeing what you all have pieced up to quilt!We are also working this year on upping our social media game! So, to start, we are introducing a sale of the week. Look on Facebook for our Tuesday morning videos to see our sale of the week.SEWING MACHINE REPAIRWe know that since moving to our new location, you have missed having an option for sewing machine repair. Well, we heard you!!! In February, we are hosting a LOVE  your domestic machine event~We are partnering with a new technician that we KNOW you will love! Can you tell we are excited?!The event will be held Feb 13th-15th.Our technician will be visiting from out of town, and will work on getting your machines tuned up while he is here. He has time for 10 machines.Because this is a limited space event, to be eligible for bringing in your machine, you must call the shop ahead of time to get on the list. If you don't make it into one of the 10 slots, you will be added to a waitlist. If he happens to finish sooner than he thought, then he will start calling those on the waitlist. The list is set up on a "first come first served" basis so definitely get in the que!For those who make it into the event, you will have from Friday Feb. 7th (the weekend before he comes) to no later than the 12th to drop off your machines. We will have prices & more details soon.
