Husqvarna Viking 100Q: Portable---Big on Features!

We're frequently asked what is a good, general purpose, convenient, easy to use sewing machine that is good for beginning sewing, with room to grow, and decent features.

The Husqvarna Viking H-class 100Q would fit the bill for a great beginning machine. This machine is light weight and portable---great to carry into our classes. Easy to learn and easy to use, this machine is jam packed with features normally found on more expensive, advanced models. And if you buy it from us, we'll schedule a class for you to learn how to use it.


This machine features:

• 20 built in stitches
• Drop feed for free motion quilting
• Adjustable pressure on that presser foot---gives you added assistance to evenly feeding your projects through the machine for perfect stitches.
• Extra presser foot lift for heavy projects.
• Needle up and down---so handy for times when you need perfect corner turns.
• A fix function to automatically tie off those stitches for you--no more doing it by hand!
• Compact and portable at just 15 pounds---but with the room to handle a quilt.
• Hard cover is included.

 If you've always wanted to learn to quilt or sew, this is a great machine to get you started. And at ***$399*** during the month of March (National Quilting Month), now is the time to come see us to get one of these great machines before they're gone. Be sure to schedule your class so that you'll be able to get the most out of this fantastic machine.

March is National Quilting Month

Are you celebrating National Quilting Month with a quilt of your own? At the Kalamazoo Sewing Center we are celebrating with quilting classes and special deals to make this the most fun National Quilting Month of all. Here are just a few of the fun events we have planned:

• Mini Quilt Show --- March 26th 1:00 

For a complete list of classes be sure to visit our website at http://www.kalamazoosews.com.


What are your favorite resources on the web for quilting information and patterns? We found these websites:

• quilting at about.com---a wonderful resource of some really unique patterns, much of them free. I really like the bug jars---wouldn't that be nice for a lovely quilt for a summertime picnic.
•  Piece n Quilt---a blog written and maintained by a fellow quilter. Wow---I can only aspire to some of her creations! Simply gorgeous.
• RK Quilts--- If you're a fan of Robert Kaufman's fabrics and even if your not---there's a sampling of free patterns and other quilting helpers on this site.
• Scrap Quilts ---Another resource for patterns.

There are even some Smartphone Apps for quilting---Robert Kaufman has one out---it's currently free and comes in both Android and iPhone versions.

And no blog about quilting would be complete without some pictures of our star quilter's projects. If you'd like to be included please post a picture of your quilting project to our Facebook page or email it to us and we'll be happy to post it for you. We're excited about National Quilting Month and hope that you join us in making sewing exciting and fun and passing the skill and excitement on to others.

  So creative. So fun. Come join us!
