Final thoughts from Lynn and Kathy
Quilt like the wind bullseye!
We want people to be coming back!
We’re passionate about helping you in your quilting journey.
We want to hear your successes so we can share them!
The key to having the most fun is to keep trying new things and to call Kathy Quilts
when you come upon a stumbling block and we WILL help you!
Be patient with yourself as you are a beginner and call us for help.
Practice practice practice - the more you use your Block RockiT the more familiar you
will become with it, the smoother it runs, and you will fall in love with your machine.
It’s really scary learning something on your own, but the nice thing about KathyQuilts
is that you will never be left in the dark. We were all there at some point, and we’ve
learned the Block Rockit and we want to help you!
Glossary of Terms
Belly Bar -
On a long arm quilt frame, the rail that is closest to you when you stand in front of
your frame. Nothing is ever rolled onto this rail. Although, on a Grace Machine Quilt machine
the rail that is closest to you when you stand in front of your frame is called the “quilt back” rail
and is for the backing of your quilt.
