Hi ,

Let's kick off with a fun timelapse of my toddler Betty, who's almost two, who loves to quilt with me in the longarm room. Well, technically I'm the one quilting and she's the one making a mess!

We have a routine pretty well established now - I clean up the longarm room so it's fairly tidy. Betty systematically pulls everything out, one drawer at a time. It's a mess that makes me smile, every time.

Big Sale on All Longarm Machines and Frames

This month all Qnique longarm machines and frames are on sale, and you can save 15% on our Computerized Quilting System, Quilter's Creative Touch too!

The Best Deals to Check Out:

Cutie Frame - Sale Price $589 through July 17th - This collapsible frame is perfect for quilters with very limited space because you can collapse it and store it in a closet or under your bed. When you're ready for a quilting weekend, pull it out, load it up, and start quilting.

Qnique 19X Elite Longarm - My Qnique 19XE is a delight and I swear it's like the Dr Who Tardis - bigger on the inside than it seems! This is the perfect longarm if you like piecing 12 inch blocks - you'll be able to quilt the entire block in one pass across any Grace Frame.

Evolution Hoop Frame - This is an amazing frame, designed to grow with you as a quilter, wherever you want this craft to take you. Start small with a 66 inch wide footprint, then expand the frame when you're ready to any size between 7 - 12 feet. 

How to Easily Connect Your Binding

Finally I have a quick tip video for you on connecting the ends of your binding: 

Just in case you'd like to see the full tutorial - Click Here to find my three part binding series. I've recently updated this post with a new video I made on binding using packaged bias binding that speeds up the process.

That's it for this week, my quilting friend. Behind the scenes, I'm working on a big update for LeahDay.com. We also have a super exciting preorder coming up later this month for a new machine that I can't wait to get my hands on.

A few details to get you curious - this new machine will be able to piece and quilt (it's a home sewing machine with feed dogs), but it will sport a whopping 13-inch harp space! I already have mine on order... do you want one too? 

Make sure to open our next newsletters so you don't miss out on news about this mystery machine.

Let's go quilt,

Leah Day
