Longarm Classes with Handi Quilter Ambassador Telene Jeffrey

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 share some of her impressive knowledge of design to inspire Handi Quilter customers as they played with design options.

Another highlight was doing applique using 7 different techniques. Using the longarms in different ways gives quilters real confidence with the machines.

Proudly showing completion of the previous wholecloth workshop!

Look out for future workshops and make sure you sign up to our email newsletter. We are often over-subscribed for classes so it is unusual for us to be able to offer these classes to non-Handi Quilter owners. The classes are just one benefit of being a Handi Quilter owner.
