Quilting Your Tops.

Do you like piecing more than quilting?

Would you rather pick colors than push quilt top through the machine arm?

Would you rather buy fabrics than work on your stitches being uniform?

Does phrase "quilt as desired" make you uncomfortable?

I like to quilt different tops. I try to find a style that would be the best for the top. Often I use several colors of thread.

I have several machines and methods that I use for quilting.

My long-arm is Janome 1600P DB (I had Juki TL98E before and it died). It sits on B-line tabletop frame. I do various meandering and stippling (usually around the motifs, trapunto, paintings, buttons, photographs, embroidery, and other creative items quilters put on their tops).

PC Quilter. WOW! It works hard stitching complex designs with multiple tiny details. I design for it myself. Feathers, ferns, puzzle, fans are stitches with amazing consistency and accuracy.

Pfaff 7550. Dual feed ROCKS! Use for online/stabilizing of blocks, edge line, cross-hatch, other straight lines and very gentle curves.

When you bring your top, I like to listen to your ideas. But I want a space for creativity. I quilted over 50 tops, and I understood a lot about styles and designs. "Quilt as desired" does not intimidate me anymore. For example, quilting style is largely determined by the fabric. The same pattern top made from batiks and from civil war reproductions will require absolutely different quilting.

Photos of my quilts will be in online gallery soon. In a mean time contact me for pictures of my work.

People ask me if it is difficult to part with the quilt. My solution is to photograph all tops I quilted. This way it is easy for me to let them go.
