It is back-to-school time and what better gift to give a student you know than a custom iPad cover! 

 

Certified Instructor Cindy Carey with North Star Longarm Quilting shows us how to design and personalize an iPad cover to make a stylish and useful carrying case with a personal touch. She uses an 11.5 inch by 20 inch design for her iPad 4 cover but sizes may vary by make and model.

The import image feature in CreativeStudio allows you to take any digital image and drop it into CreativeStudio. This means you can preview your pattern on different images, such as the image of a quilt block, which can aid you in designing your pattern. Click here to view how.

Gammill is currently in the process of evaluating Windows 10 and has been for the past few months.  At this time, we feel Windows 10 is perfectly fine for use on any Stand Alone Mode (SAM) computer to run CreativeStudio software.  However, use of Windows 10 on computers that operate the Statler by Gammill is still being evaluated. There will continue to be in-depth testing prior to recommending installation of Windows 10 on your Statler PC.  We will make a final announcement in the coming months concerning when Windows 10 will be safe to use on Statler by Gammill PCs.  With new Operating System releases there can be any number of things that can go wrong and we want to make sure that your Statlers are not forced into downtime due to a Windows error that could have been prevented.  Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for our Statler PCs running Windows 7 through Windows 8.1 until late July 2016. We appreciate your patience during this testing process and will release further information as soon as it is available.

A Touch of Thread

A Touch of Thread was founded in 2003 by Martha Creasy, a fourth-generation quilter from Zanesville, Ohio. Her passion for quilting sparked when her mother opened a small quilt shop in the quaint village of Dresden, Ohio in 1991. In 1995, Martha purchased her first Gammill longarm quilting machine, and it was "love at first stitch." After quilting for customers for several years, Martha opened her own authorized Gammill and Statler dealership. A short time later, her husband Doug made the business his full time career after 23 years in electric motor repair industry to join the business where he assists with delivery and service.  Click here to visit their website.
