The Grateful Thread Podcast The Grateful Thread Podcast

Today, we're joined by one of our most favorite quilters, and are so excited to share our conversation with Libs Elliott with you! From her brief stint at Crayola to her big jump in college studies, we learn all about the road that led her to create computer-engineered patterns at a time when modern quilting was still in its infancy.
So, pull up a seat, because you can always sit with us!

Alternative title: To Buy A Longarm Or Not To Buy A Longarm
 
Maybe you've been in the market for a longarm machine, or maybe you're looking to be talked out of it once and for all. Either way, we're addressing the pros and cons of longarm ownership to help you decide if it's for you!
With one of us on either side of the fence, there's some great points made to help see the big picture!
If you're nowhere near the consideration of purchasing one? We cover that too and outline the many alternatives quilters can use to finish their beautiful treasures!
