In December 2013 I purchased a longarm machine - Phaff Quilt Artist. My machine is computerized. I don't do very well with freestyle. I generally do my own longarming as most of my quilts and projects are under 54" wide. My computerized longarm machine allows me to pick from thousands of patterns.

If I require longarm services for special quilts or larger quilts, I use Crazy Creek Creations. Nancy is currently not taking new orders but her site is still worth browing through.

I have also listed some references for long arm services on my Links Page. These local businesses provide excellent service.

Long arm sewing machines are used to sew together a quilt top, quilt batting and quilt backing into a finished quilt. The longarm sewing machine typically ranges from 5 to 14 feet in length.

Quilting using a longarm machine can take significantly less time than hand quilting or more traditional machine quilting. This time saving is a large factor in the gain in popularity of longarm quilting. The availability of relatively quick and reasonably affordable quilting services has helped to cause a surge in the quilting business and an overall growth in interest in quilting as an art form.
