Mail-In Longarm Quilting From Anywhere in the U.S.

Leo finishes pieced quilt tops on the Bernina Q24 longarm at the Maynard Studio in Denver, PA — every quilt arrives by mail and is shipped back insured.

What Is Longarm Quilting?

A longarm is an industrial-frame quilting machine where the quilt sandwich (top + batting + backing) is loaded onto a 12-foot frame and the sewing head moves over it on rails. That's the opposite of a domestic sewing machine, where the fabric moves under a stationary needle.
