Professional Machine Quilting

If you would like to have your patchwork quilt top quilted professionally on a long arm precision machine, Hobbysew can help. The Gammill machine is the best quilting machine on the market and we can quilt any sized piece (a minimum fee applies). There are hundreds of stitching designs to choose. If you visit one of our stores offering the service, we can show you stitched samples of some of the many designs available.
