HAND-GUIDED machines are the mainstay of the industry. With this type of longarm, the machine quilts and you guide it manually.

The machine runs in constant mode. This means the needle is moving constantly at a set speed.

The traditional, HAND-GUIDED fabrication process of quilting creates a drastically different look from the MACHINE-QUILTED styles mass produced for stores.

We like to say "There are no straight lines in nature!

See the beauitful detail of the hand-guided outline quilting of the finished product.
