Textile Students

Textile Students on the 4 foot Art Quilter frame
 Ally Pally is a fun venue. It's full of students and teachers.School kids in their uniforms on a fun day out and University students too. These girls are on a Textile Course at university. Look at their faces, they just loved the frame. They loved the gorgeous variegated thread from Superior Threads too.

Being able to effortlessly glide the sewing machine over the perfectly tensioned layers of fabric was quite a novelty.

They really appreciated the control this gave them as they played with various line designs on the practice piece of fabric. It was sooooo much easier than wrestling with the fabric under the arm of the machine! It is the perfect tool to help them complete their textile projects quickly and to a much higher standard.

everyone had a go with the Juki on the Art Quilter frame
Now they really really want one! It's right at the top of their Christmas list.

You can test drive the Juki TL98P straight stitch sewing machine on our machine quilting frame and try the Juki Exceed range for free motion quilting sitting at the machine.Our 4 foot Art Quilter frame was created with the textile artist in mind. It sets up like an easel creating the perfect surface for free motion embroidery, thread painting, felting and machine quilting.
