Our New Arrival

We've got a new arrival here at OTS,

and it doesn't need changing or feeding

unless you're talking thread, oil and needles.

A bit of background~ We've been quilting with a Handi-Quilter Avante longarm machine for a few years. It has been a joy to work with, especially as we've continued to learn more of all the things it can do. It has helped us to design and quilt so many beautiful creations. With the added help of the Pro-Stitcher, there has been almost nothing we haven't been able to accomplish...except for larger quilting designs and multi-rows. From today on, that will be a thing of the past. How, you may ask?

A new arrival appeared at OTS yesterday.

It's larger, it's longer and it's got a new name.

 

The New Arrival in hiding

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you {insert drum roll here}...

The New Arrival revealed

THE HANDI-QUILTER INFINITY!!!!

It's quite an amazing machine. Very similar to the Avante but much bigger. It has a quilting depth of 26 inches! Yes, 26 inches! This means we will be able to do up to 24 inch designs or two rows of design in one swoop on its' 12 foot long frame. Needless to say, we are quite excited around here!

We do have one little problem. We haven't come up with a name for it! What we'd like to propose is a contest. That's right, the first contest in the history of OTS. All you have to do is comment below with a name suggestion for our new arrival. We will then draw a winner at random on April 1st (no, this is not an early April Fool's Day joke). Not only will you get to name the new machine, but we will send you a gift pack of sewing goodies from OTS. So, put your creative thinking cap on, and come up with a great name to help us welcome our new arrival here at On The Stitch!
