So you have Pro-Stitcher and have pretty much mastered the edge-to-edge part of quilting, but NOW WHAT? Let us open the doors to what all ELSE you can do with Pro-Stitcher!  Kristina Whitney is an excellent educator that has trained Jay and some of his staff at the dealer’s quilt academy and taught in numerous national shows, and we are super excited to host her up here in the north country!

In this class, we will explore the deeper, fun tools of the Pro-Stitcher program.  There will be lots of tools taught and explained that are not in the beginner series.  We want this class to be interactive and you get some input into what is taught!  After you register, Jay will send you an email with some questions that can help shape the class. Plus, there will also be some Q&A time for Kristina to help answer the questions that keep bugging you.

We will start at 9:00 AM and end at 4:30 PM with a 90 minute break for lunch.

This is not just a lecture class!  Instead, we brought in the HQ Van and there will be 6 machines all set up and waiting for you to practice and play on!  We also limit the class size so that there are only 2 people per machine, so that you have a nice amount of time working on the skills that they teach you.  Plus! If you have already purchased an HQ machine from us, please email us for your coupon discount to save some money off the registration fee!

Don’t Wait!  Reserve your spot today!  In the past, we have sold out LONG before the event, so you don’t want to miss this one!

Our Educator:

Kristina began quilting with her grandmother in the 1990’s. She pieced and quilted on her domestic machine until being introduced to longarm quilting in 2014 and hasn’t looked back.

Her longarm quilting experience began on an HQ Avanté® with Pro-Stitcher®. After touching the Handi Quilter machine for the first time, she was hooked. She currently owns an HQ Forte® with Pro-Stitcher and an Amara® 24 with Pro-Stitcher.

She loves to share her passion for quilting through education. She teaches all over the world and absolutely loves it. In addition to teaching in person, she was also the co-host for the Watch & Learn quilting show and her quilting has been featured in various magazines. She currently is the host of the “Did You Know?” Quilting Show on YouTube.

Kristina enjoys all types of longarm quilting including rulers, Pro-Stitcher, and free-motion. She quilts for hire, for pleasure, and is working to complete 50 of her grandmother’s quilt tops. She loves to think outside of the box and to push herself as well as her students to try new things.
