Abigail Sheridan de Graaff is a Handi Quilter Educator and Professional Longarm Quilter. From her quilting studio in Shipston-on-Stour in Warwickshire Abigail uses a Handi Quilter Amara 20" longarm machine with the computerised Pro-Stitcher system to complete her own as well as customer quilts through her business Cut&Alter. In this blog feature Abigail explores Glide 40wt and 60wt thread, the quilter's palette. But as you'll discover, Glide thread is not just for quilting. Our Glide Thread Club launched in 2020 - you can build the entire Glide 40wt thread collection with the 27 sets of 9 1000m cones. No threads are repeated so you can confidently purchase knowing you won't have two the same! For more details visit the Thread Club pages on our website - Glide Thread Club. Before I bought my longarm machine I have to admit I knew nothing about thread, although I was not aware of this shortcoming! Basically I bought whatever was in the local shop if it was
Shredding Thread, Skipped Stitches and Stitch Formation - Explained by Liz Holpin, Pinhole Quilting There is nothing more frustrating than when you're quilting along and you find your thread is skipping stitches, the thread is shredding or breaking. It can really affect your quilting mojo! You check you thread and your needle and can't find out what is wrong. So, let's look at what the components are of skipping, shredding and the longarm needle. We'll also consider some aspects of the thread and what might be happening there. We'll also cover Timing, Needles and in particular the High Speed or MR Needles. We hope that with this knowledge you will be able to analyse what is happening with your machine and fix your skipped stitches with less frustration so that you can get on and quilt!

We were delighted to welcome International Handi Quilter Ambassador Telene Jeffrey , otherwise known as Lady Jane Quilting, to our Pinhole Quilting Showroom for two fabulous sets of workshops in October 2022. From the results that have been posted since the workshops took place it is clear how much was learnt and put into practice. Telene hadn't visited the UK before (aside from a day in London when she was a student) so we took the opportunity to show her some beautiful parts of the Worcestershire and Gloucestershire countryside while she was here taking in Chipping Campden, Pershore and Broadway. I'm hoping that we'll some of that inspiration in future designs, as based on the number of photographs being taken, that is almost certainly going to happen! There were so many tips and techniques taught during the 5 days, including the YouTube session of How Do I Quilt It? which is incredibly valuable. Throughout the 2-day workshop at the end of the week Telene was able to sha
