Quilt to Fill                                                                     Class # 101
This Class is designed to help anyone who has been hesitant to do freehand quilting. Because
the "Quilt to Fill" method gives you some marked boundaries to stay within, it is an excellent
method for anyone who has been reluctant to move into doing freehand designs.

compromising the finished look-all this and more will be included.  Most of these designs work
wonderfully for sashing, too!  Come join in the fun and learning.  In typical Cozy Creations

more and more advanced. Then, she will show you how to put the basic feather into a swag, heart,
circle, triangle and other odd shapes to fit and fill every space, taking it to a new level. You will be
anxious to put feathers on everything!

Starting a Longarm Quilting Business                             Class # 106
When contemplating opening for business, there are some questions you need to consider.  As
time permits, we will discuss what you want (goals) out of your business.  What skills and
weaknesses have an impact on your potential success?  Can you manage your time
effectively?  How do you know if there is a need for another longarmer in your area (market
research)?  What machine should you buy?  How will you finance this new endeavor?   Does
your bank want a business plan? What type of business entity will you choose (sole
proprietor/partnership/corporation)?  Where will you set up shop and what will the legal/financial
ramifications be (zoning, tax numbers, permits/licenses, and insurance)?  How will you get the
word out (marketing strategies)?   How much can you realistically earn as compared to how
much your time is worth in the work force?  Will anyone operate this business with you or will
you have the need to hire employees or subcontract help?  Being aware of these issues before
you make the financial commitment to open a business can help you decide whether this is
really for you.

Lecture/demo.
We're going to take out the bobbin winder and see what makes it work, then tune it up to wind
perfect bobbins, we will be taking out the hook assembly, seeing how the stitch is made, rebuilding
the tensioners, replacing anti-backlash spring, rebuilding the  bobbin case, checking motor brushes
and belt tension.  Then we will be timing the hook and needle, the hopping foot, the rocking finger,
the intermittent tensioner, everything that will affect stitch quality and life of your quilter.
StatlerStitcher will be included if those participating own a Statler. That will include adjusting drive
belt tension, and the options menu.  Time permitting we will take questions. We will be using the
new service manual. With that as your reference, you will be able to repair that quilter at 2 AM,
while trying to get that deadline met. (You can download and print the manual from the Gammill site
if you don't already have one.)
