Long Arm Machine Quilting by Blue Moon Quilts

LONG ARM QUILTING CLASSES 2009

Given by: Suzie Shore Berberich

Just getting started?
You have your machine, now what?
Only thinking about what it's really like and have lots of questions?

Come see my spacious studio set-up with hands on learning in small groups of two.

Maybe you've been quilting awhile and are tired of pantographs and want some freehand help. Most of my customers prefer this and I've been doing just that since 2003.

Adult only class.
They include 3 hours of training with Q & A afterwards
Light refreshments included.

Wear comfy clothes and shoes.

Classes are $120.00 Pre-paid.

What will we learn?

This class is about building confidence.
After my machine was delivered and my free demonstration was over, the panic set in!

If you don't own a machine, and before you invest your time and money, try mine.
See why I like this brand and how to care for it.
You'll learn how to load and unload a quilt. How to thread it, change needles, bobbins. You will make and take a sample of different designs like feathers, leaves, and curls and doodles.

Learn what tools I use and why.
What you really need to get started.
See and touch real samples.
Browse through my photos from real jobs I have finished for my customers.

Get ideas on how to set up your own space.
The real everyday physical and emotional work and life are discussed honestly.
