New products

Wow! Exciting December! The shipment of Hang it Dang it quilt hanging system is in, and I'm trying to get them up on the website. If you are interested in them, here's their website http://www.hangitdangit.com/ I'm selling them for the same prices.

Superior threads are coming out with new products and I'm in the testing process. Watch for news in the next few weeks. Silk thread and So Fine prewounds are on their way.

I'm now a distributor for Quilter's Hangups, and in the process of receiving stock. Shipping from the states is slow right now, so I think the stock will be arranged for January intake. This is a premade quilt sleeve that will work perfectly with the Hang it Dang it system or any system that requires a quilt sleeve. Check them out at http://www.quiltershangup.com/ You can apply this sleeve in minutes and up goes your gorgeous creation. Machine quilters can consider this as another opportunity to add to the services they offer to customers.

Leadergrips are the most exciting product I've seen in the machine quilting world for a while, and they will hopefully arrive in the next weeks. http://www.leadergrips.com/. No more pinning the quilt to the leaders. With this system, you can load a quilt in minutes--yes, under 5 minutes!

I'm working through getting all the new products up on the website, but can't promise when. If you want any of these products, just give me a call 1-866-524-5955

I hope everyone is enjoying the snow this year, I know we are.
Have a great Christmas season. Stay safe and warm throughout the holidays...

Winter is here!

Upon being greeting with this weather when I went out to check for goat babies this morning....



I got the cleaning bug. Not sure why the first big snowfall of the year does that, but it happens every year.

Since I rearranged and cleaned, I decided it was time to take some pictures of the studio! Here's a glimpse of where you're purchasing your machine quilting supplies from...



This shelf holds my extra stock of King Tut spools, and the selection of machine needles. The notion wall is to the left. Turn clock wise, and here's what you see!




My pride and joy, the stock of Superior Threads cones. Lava, Bottom Line, King Tut, Metallics, Highlights, Masterpiece, So Fine, then Rainbows. Turn clockwise again, and here's what you see!





This shelf hold my DVD selection(with their companion books), the bobbins, Tajima's, Towas, and miscellaneous machine notions. The basket of quilter's c clamps is on the bottom. Oh, and try me size of my favorite new "Best Press". If you have a problem quilt with fullness, spray some of this on, and it sucks it right up. I wiggle the fabric to where I want it, and let the spray dry for a while. Quilt it and you can't tell that the fullness was there. Magic!

The book shelf is to the right, and then the pattern package rack next in line.

Now, there's more to the store/studio, but the renos aren't done and it's not pretty yet, so you'll just have to wonder for a while! The panto shelf is over there, the zippers, template, rulers and Clamps.
Watch for more picture of new product that I have in, and changes as they come.

Long time with no update!

Well, the last few months have been crazy, learning the new business and trying to keep stock on the shelves. I will have some new pictures up very, very soon, and I'm happy to say that new products are on their way. Watch the website and the blog for updates. I'm waiting for the shipment of Hang It Dang It's to show up so I can get them up for sale. They are the bee's knee's when it comes to hanging any size of quilt!

Longarm Supplies has a new home!

Longarm Supplies, packed and ready to head to it's new home in Vermilion, Alberta. Here is Linda Lang and Veta Borysiuk, past and present owners, worn out from all the busy days, looking forward to exciting things to come for both! Linda is going to continue longarming, teaching and selling APQS machines. I hope some of you will consider taking a class from her soon, and a stay at her gorgeous B&B. You won't be treated better anywhere!
As for me, Veta, things are starting to look better. Stock is almost all unpacked, renos are getting done, and work on the website is underway. Watch for updates as things are finished and the new changes take place. I look forward to working with you in the future!

Canadian LongArm Supplies announces

A change in ownership.


I would like to thank all my loyal customers while I have operated LongArm Supplies. I have met many, many wonderful quilters, most of whom have become friends.

I am not falling out of the quilting world; I am looking forward to focusing on longarm quilting again. I will be remaining a representative for APQS machines; with parts; service and training. My telephone number will be changing to 604-794-5955 for assistance with APQS machines or just to chat.

This fall Rhonda and I will be launching a new website focusing on longarm machine quilting and training. A newsletter will be sent as we get closer to the launching of the new website. We will be starting a new blog this weekend to keep you up to date on what is going on with us. You can find our blog here; Quilted Cats Hideaway.

Now, I would like to introduce you to the new owner of LongArm Supplies, Veta Borysiuk.

Veta lives in Alberta. She has been a longarm quilter since 2001; previously owning a Gammill and now a Prodigy. She is excited to be adding a Intelligent Quilter to her machine.

LongArm Supplies will re-open in Alberta on August 9, 2010. The phone number will remain the same: 1-866-524-5955. Watch the website for email address and changes she will be making.


Thank you for 4 great years.
