Thinking about a longarm but not sure which machine is right for you?
Join us for a hands-on Handi Quilter Test Drive at Fabric Bash Rapid City. This event gives you the chance to try the machines, compare features and ask questions before making a longarm decision.
You do not need longarm experience to attend. This event is designed for quilters who are curious about longarm quilting, ready to finish more of their own quilts, or considering an upgrade from their current setup.
What You Will Explore
During the event, you will have the opportunity to:
- Test drive Handi Quilter longarm machines
- Compare machine and frame options
- Learn how stitch regulation works
- Explore free-motion and computerized quilting
- Ask questions about space, setup and maintenance
- Get help finding a machine that fits your quilting goals
Why Try a Longarm in Person?
Machine specifications can only tell you so much.
Trying a longarm in person lets you feel how the machine moves, see how much quilting space you have and compare the controls and features that matter most to you. It is one of the best ways to understand which setup feels comfortable before making a purchase.
Handi Quilter longarms are built to help quilters finish larger projects with more room, control and consistency. Depending on the machine, you can explore features such as generous throat space, stitch regulation, smooth free-motion quilting and computerized quilting options.
Who Should Attend?
This event is a good fit for:
- Quilters who have never used a longarm
- Quilters with unfinished quilt tops waiting at home
- Anyone comparing longarm machines
- Current longarm owners considering an upgrade
- Quilters interested in free-motion quilting
- Quilters curious about computerized quilting
Bring your questions and come ready to quilt.
