Under Construction

We are back from Handi Quilter training in Salt Lake City and
we have 2 fantastic HQ machines in the Shoppe!

We are still a little under construction this week but you should come see our progress and the changes we have made!

We have a Sweet Sixteen sit-down machine equipped with Tru Stitch for stitch regulation





and a computerized Avante with Pro-Stitcher 





We also have tons of information to share about the Fusion and Infinity machines!

      


Next week's newsletter will have details about our upcoming Handi Quilter rental program; we appreciate your patience as we work hard to put together a program that's just right!
