HandiQuilter grabbed my attention back in 2020 when they announced the Moxie longarm – a truly budget friendly 15” longarm on a frame. I longarmed exclusively on the Moxie for three years, then added the HandiQuilter Amara to my studio. I love HandiQuilter’s focus on education and making longarm quilting accessible for everyone!
Why I love them:
I fell in love with Daylight when they answered my Instagram plea as a young mom and quilter for task lighting that would make it fun for me to sew at night. Daylight lamps brighten your space, reduce eye strain, and show true colors, making it genuinely enjoyable to sew at all times.
