Hi ,

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are having an amazing day preparing for a delicious meal tomorrow. I'm starting my super sale a little early and I'm so excited to bring you these deals on Quilting Stencils, New Mini Stencils, Books, Quilting Workshops and more!

What is the difference between these three awesome quilting design tools?

All of these are downloadable PDFs you will print and cut out to help you quilt your quilts. They provide a line for you to follow to guide edge-to-edge style quilting. How you use them is a little different depending on your quilting system:

Printable Quilting Stencils - This is a large size quilting design you can quilt on any type of machine (home machine in a table or longarm on a frame). Cut out the design, place it on top of your quilt and stitch through the paper and quilt at the same time. Tear the paper away after you're done quilting to reveal your quilting design.

Mini Quilting Stencils - Many quilters with smaller home machines (throat space less than 9 inches) requested a smaller size paper stencil. I developed these using a Singer Heavy Duty 4411 sewing machine which has a 6.25 inch throat. 

I've quilted multiple quilts with them and love how fast and easy they make quilting edge-to-edge. Even though Mini Stencils are smaller, they pack a design punch - flip them, mirror, and stagger to create fantastic quilting effects.

Yes, you can still use Mini Stencils if you have a bigger machine or even a longarm on a frame. Just like the Printable Quilting Stencils, you will stitch through the paper and the quilt at the same time and tear the paper away at the end.

Pantograph Quilting Patterns - Pantographs are designed for frame quilting specifically - and I include two sizes of the designs so they will fit both home machines and longarms. Mix and match the designs, tape them together to create one long pattern, then follow the design standing at the back of your frame using a laser light.

The advantage of pantograph quilting is you have a line to follow without having to actually stitch through the paper. The trickier part about pantograph quilting is evenly advancing the design through your frame. This is easier on a rolling rail frame, but can be a bit complicated on a hoop frame.

This summer I updated the Quilting Pantographs Guidebook to help you better understand how to quilt with pantographs using these different styles of frames. This updated guidebook is also on sale for $9.99 - a great deal for 77 pages of detailed quilting instructions specifically tailored to using Grace Company longarm machines and quilting frames.

In addition to stencils and pantographs, here's a list of additional deals currently in effect on LeahDay.com:

Quilting Workshops ~ $9.99 - take a class and learn more about free motion quilting, walking foot quilting, wholecloth quilting and more. 

My most popular online quilting workshop is Quilting a King On Your Home Machine which includes a pattern for the Salsa Verde king sized quilt and all the steps to free motion quilting with a custom quilting design on a small home machine.

Fun with Free Motion Quilting Quilt Guild Video  ~ $125 - Save your guild bundles on the cost of an in-person speaker with this 1 hour video presentation. I guide you through the basics of free motion quilting on a home machine and how to quilt multiple designs starting from very simple shapes. 

Guild members will learn far more than if I traveled to your town and presented in person, plus this downloadable video can be kept in your guild's library for future presentations if a speaker cancels at the last minute. It's always nice to have a backup plan and I'd love to be your guild's backup girl!

These are just the highlights of the deals and discounts currently available on LeahDay.com. Click Here to find all downloadable books, workshops, embroidery designs and more.

Great Deals From Grace Company

Our Black Friday Sale is heating up with 15% on most Grace Company products. Right now, you can find the affordable Qnique 16X Longarm on sale for just $3696.65.

🤔 Did you know you can get a FREE quilting frame included with your 16X? The free frames for Qnique 16X longarm include:

Cutie Breeze Frame - This small hoop frame is great for quilters with small spaces who also need the option for storing the frame when needed.

Q-Zone Hoop Frame - If you have the space to have your frame set up all the time, this small hoop frame is a great choice. You can add frame wheels to make it easy to reposition in your sewing room. This frame also has adjustable height legs so you can set it up for standing or seated quilting.

Q-Zone Queen Frame - This 8 foot frame is a great choice for quilters wanting a faster quilting process. This rolling rail style frame is quicker to load because you can layer the quilt directly on the frame. No more basting on the floor or on a wall! 

I also attach the backing fabric directly to the frame rails using Magnum Magnets, which eliminates the need for leader cloth. These magnets magically fit into the groove on the back of the Q-Zone Queen Frame rail, so pop them on to attach the backing fabric quick as a flash.

When ordering a new Qnique longarm, you'll see the free frame options clearly listed on LeahDay.com. Of course if you have any questions, please reply to this email and ask.
