Gammill Quilting is sponsoring a new quilting show with host Linda V. Taylor. The name is Best of Both Worlds and it will focus on mix of instruction for both computerized and freehand quilting as well as techniques on how to combine the two! The show is free and all episodes will be available on Gammill's website.
Those who enjoy freehand quilting will be able learn new techniques and skills along with instruction on how their designs can dance around computerized patterns. And, those who love computerized machines will become more comfortable dropping the belts on the machine and embellishing quilts with freehand designs.
Linda will be starting and finishing a real quilting project each month. The show will also include expert guests demonstrating their computerized or freehand skills. The first episode will air next week!

IRS Section 179 tax break benefits new quilting business start ups
|
by Andrew Weaver
Andrew's Gammill Northwest
If you are opening a new quilting business, you should speak to your tax planner about a section of the IRS tax code that could really help with your cash flow in that critical first year! In some cases if you financed the machine, Section 179 could mean that during your first year of machine ownership the savings in your tax bill (or the increase in your refund check) is more than the total of monthly payments you had to send in!
