"DIY Longarming" is the service aat Forever In Stitches where you bring your top and we supply the batting and backing, and you run the longarm. It is a less expensive way to longarm any yet get excellent results, as you are under the supervision of Master Quilter Ruth. In addition you get to take credit for making the entire quilt, which is important in some competitions and, is very satisfying..
We started this service when we moved to Indiana. Since then it has really taken off!
Most often "longarm renting" is for a free-motion longarm. In this case the ability to place the design depends upon your flexability, creativity, and artistic talent.
We named our service "DIY" because our longarm is automated. The artistic talent is focused on design selection and placement, along with the selection of the thread color [of which we have over 70].
The rest is On The Job Training, with Ruth leading you through setting up and running the longarm. Most "DIYers" are repeat customers. One has quilted over a dozen quilts and several other quilters are close behind.
