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.

Texture Magic

Texture Magic is taking the quilting/sewing world by storm. When Superior Threads came out with this product earlier this year, we could not keep it in stock. While we were at Quilts Canada, my daughter Rhonda and daughter in law Erica, decided to play with it while making some owl stuffies.

Texture comes in different sizes/widths. This is one of the smaller sizes the girls played with.
First you mark a pattern on the magic. Rhonda first measured/drew a grid pattern. On the second one she winged it.



Next, you layer the texture magic and your fabric. The girls went with the option of adding batting into their fabric sandwich for a bit more puff as well. Than you quilt it.



Now the fun part.
You hold the iron just above and steam away; the fabric shrinks right up. The instructions said it would shrink up to 30%.



Once you are done shrinking, you can put the fabric into a bag, a pillow or clothing. The girls continued with making their stuffies. They came out pretty cute.
