What a machine. Just added this unit to my collection. This machine is awesome. I researched this and found it was just the thing I needed to compliment my crafting and quilting skills. What does this machine do? Well it doesn't make cookies but it comes close. I bought this at The Fig Leaf in Ft Collins Laura Shotwell and her girls were so helpful in making sure I had what I needed. Come on in for a demonstration and test drive.
Brief outline of it's capabilities. I can scan in material and fussy cut items I want perfectly. I can add fusible web to the back of the material,and skillfully place my appliques where I want them on my fabric and let the machine do the work. Very little waste of fabric. You want an applique that you want to turn under the edges, no problem, this machine will draw a line around the applique for accurate turns before you stitch. It uses the water soluble pen or the disappearing ink pen. Awesome.
Well, I love what the Bernina 750 and 880 does as far as attachments for rhinestones, cut work, and paintwork. Well hold on to your hat, we can do Rhinestones, cut work and paintwork with this machine as well. This lets me keep my Bernina Artista 730, which I love, but gives me the ability to do the things that the new Berninas do along with much more, as not only am I a quilter, I love to make cards, scrap-booking, and stamping with my granddaughters. Yep, it does all that too.
I have several local gals here in Cheyenne who will be coming in to use the machine to do their applique cuts for their quilt.
I needed a decal to advertise my Longarm of The West Custom Quilting, LLC on my pickup. Yep, I have it all designed in the ScanNCut Canvas ready to cut on my vinyl and put in the back window. I see around town logos advertising car dealerships that sold them the car on the back windows, so I put my brain to work and have a decal to do the same thing on my pickup.
Don't worry, you have a quilt that is ready to to be quilted, my Crown Jewel is ready to do the work for that beautiful finished quilt top. I have done a few quilts for customers over the Holidays, so have not taken time to blog, but 2016 is a new year and will try to post at least once a week on what is going on at the Longarm of the West Custom Quilting, LLC You can see these on my Facebook and Pinterest. Easy way to find them go to Longarm of The West Custom Quiltling and click on the Facebook or Pinterest icons.
Also, don't forget I also have the AccuQuilt dies and Go Big machine to cut those quilt blocks as well. Several have come in to test drive it as well. Their comments are that it is nice to come in and cut their fabric for a small fee and not have to purchase the dies and machine for just one or two projects.
This quilt I did a meandering design for a customer. Her son designed the quilt and loves to do puzzles so the meandering quilting was appropriate for this quilt.
Well until we meet again,
Happy Quilting
Marcia
