A little gem of a longarm...

It may sound corny, but - we’ve got another Coronet in the Cañon City shop!!

This little gem of a longarm quilting machine opens up worlds of possibilities for first-time longarm quilters. As busy moms or empty nesters who’ve down sized with little space to spare, the 5’ frame fits easily into even the smallest of studio spaces. And yet, the Coronet has a huge 16” throat that lets us have complete control of our quilts, beginning to end.

With the Coronet, we can compose all the free-motion swoops and swirls we’ve always wanted to do, while the built-in stitch regulator keeps our topstitching looking polished. It’s the star of our sewing room, and at an affordable price, too! Come on in for a demo - we know you’ll love it!
