    You may be curious as to what is a longarm quilting service?  Well, it is a function that someone provides to you with a special machine that does the tough finishing of your special, maybe memento, quilt.  If you have such a quilt that you have put time and effort and much love into, then you want to be perfectly sure that the complete edges are done correctly, perfectly and without defects.

    Since you have found my site, I am so pleased that you are here.  When I first started making my keepsake quilts for my family, I never quite seemed to get the edging on right.  Or something else just wasn’t right.  I had no idea that someone or rather “some machine” was out there and someone that owned that machine could help me get the exact perfect finishes I was looking for.  That’s when I started my research and ended up composing this blog for you so you wouldn’t miss out on something that is terrific.

    If you would like to go here and find a longarm quilting service, I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised by all of the services they can provide to you, including connecting binding edges on a quilt.  I have used quilting services now for all of my quilts and have been extremely pleased.

    Somewhere in that timeframe, I looked into purchasing one.  After doing my research on them, I decided that using a service is much more economical for me.  They are quite expensive machines!  Since people in the past relied on quilting bees to produce finished quilts, I needed to find some other method because buying that machine was not an option for me.

    Around the beginning of my quilting escapade, I had many tops, bottoms and bindings, but didn’t know how to get them all together, until I encountered “long arm quilting”.Certain events seem to be right around the corner all the time!  Let alone, Christmas.  So I found four quilting services, called them, asked them questions and voila! Suffice it to say, that was the ticket.

    I hope you don’t spend as much time as I did trying to find the right quilting service.  This is the reason I have made this blog, so you won’t waste your precious time.

    One thing that I have just finished doing, which was a first for me, is I sent a design to my quilting service.  She is making a quilt top from my design on her longarm quilters.  I sent the design, which is unique only to my family, and it will be ready for pick up before my husband’s birthday!  I am so excited about it!  My quilting service is going to do the whole thing, but I made the design!  I never could have made a quilt like that doing it the old fashioned way.  That’s not to say I have given up making homemade, hand quilting services of my own.  No, never, I love it too much.

    The best thing about finding my longarm quilting service is that now I have so many more options to add to my hobby.I am going to assemble another one that will not be a knock off of anything I’ve ever done before.

    1. Having the right equipment is so helpful to making a great quilt and quilt binding is a very important part of that.
