Long arm sewing is the process of combining (or sandwiching) the finished top of a quilt, the batting, and the backing material using a large sewing machine. Many long-arm quilters use computer programs, pantograph papers, and free-motion to sew designs onto this sandwich to make beautiful designs onto the finished quilt.  

I chose to use free-motion to create patterns onto quilts so each is unique. This is one-of-a-kind art that I love since it allows me to be creative and give my clients a say on what they want on their quilts.
