In this Hello My Quilting Friends Podcast, I'm updating an old post on all the reasons why I didn't want a longarm from 2011 and sharing my new perspective in 2019. Read more here: https://freemotionproject.com/2019/05/7-reasons-why-i-do-want-and-need-a-longarm-podcast-107.html

A lot has changed in 8 years and prices for longarm machines and frames have come down while the cost (and size) of home machines has gone up!

Yes, I am a dealer for Grace Company and I love offering these machines and frames because they are more affordable for hobby quilters. I love being part of this innovative company that creates new products to help quilters finish their quilts.

Check out the Grace Qnique 21 which was in the video with me: https://leahday.com/21

Also check out the Grace Qnique 15R, which is a wonderful longarm to begin with: https://leahday.com/15R

And we have a new Q-Zone Hoop Frame which you can put your home sewing machine on and it fits within a much smaller space: https://leahday.com/Qzone

Meet Laura Hendrickson, the registrar of the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky! Laura must have been super busy this past weekend during the AQS Paducah Quilt Show. In this episode we chatted about her job taking care of the quilts, packing and shipping them for various shows, and her favorites within the museum.

We also chatted a bit about materials used in quilts and if using things like starch, fusible web, or paint can have a degrading effect on the fabric. Read more here: https://freemotionproject.com/2019/05/meet-laura-hendrickson-of-the-national-quilt-museum.html
