Two Up!
DIY [Do-It-Yourself] longarming is gaining in popularity. So much so, that a while ago we had booked two DIY'ers on the same day and time. This was not a problem as we have two automated Innova AutoPilot Mach 3's that can be used simultaneously.
The two DIY'ers were Stephanie B. and Flo S. They, along with Ruth, indicated that they were having a good time. I could tell they were having a good time by the melodious chatting coming out of the longarm studio! And, I asked them!
Both Stephanie and Flo are multiple users of the DIY program. Stephanie has used it about 20 times and Flo is not far behind!
Reasons For DIY Longarming!
There are many reasons given for liking the DIY program. Some are:
- It gives you "ownership" of the entire quilt-making process;
- Some awards require that you did the entire process;
- It is fun;
- There is a choice of time;
- Ruth makes the session comfortable and non-intimidating;
- It provides an understanding of all of the elements in the process;
- It saves money, as compared to the Professional Longarming Services;
- It gives you the ability, on the spot, to choose alternatives;
- It provides an opportunity to learn more from Ruth.
