MEET MATILDA
All of the kd dids quilting is done in my home studio which is smoke and pet free. I use one of the best longarm quilting machines in the industry, a 2017 APQS Millie with Intelliquilter - a computerized quilting system. Millie can sew up to 3500 stitches per minute! Don’t let that make you nervous, however, this girl has the industry’s best stitch regulator ensuring that stitches are perfect, even at top speeds. My extensive experience with long-arm quilting and meticulous craftsmanship combine with the most advanced technology to produce expert quality quilting on each and every project.
You pick your pattern, choose the perfect fabrics and spend hours and days cutting and ironing and sewing your quilt top together. Now you need to make a quilt sandwich with the quilt-top, batting and backing. But how do you keep it all together? Historically, they were stitched together by hand or on the personal sewing machine. Both of these options can produce lovely results but are extremely time consuming and often frustrating trying to jam the bulky quilt through the small neck of your machine.
The long-arm quilting machine stretches the entire quilt onto roller s across the 10-14 foot surface allowing the machine with an extra long arm (hence the term “long-arm quilting) to move freely across the surface. This makes the quilting process much faster, more enjoyable, and allows for more perfect stitches and intricate designs.
After pouring so much time and love into a quilt top, you want to make sure that the finishing is the highest quality. By choosing to have your project quilted by a long-armer, you can be sure that the stitches and quilting will emphasize and enhance the beauty of your hard-won quilt top rather than damaging it. Your beautiful quilt will have the quality of an heirloom piece, ready to hand down to the next generation.
