Melissa Kruschwitz (MK) created MK Quilts University for people just like you...
Melissa's passion for Pro-Stitcher training began in 2015, creating instructional videos on a different platform. In early 2020, she and her husband, Paul, took the next step, launching MK Quilts University - a dedicated platform to share their expertise.
MK's infectious enthusiasm allows her to connect with students worldwide, spreading the joy of computerized quilting. Paul, with Samson by his side (yes, their dog!), plays a critical behind-the-scenes role. He ensures the technology runs smoothly, while also providing stellar sales and service to their customers.
Both Melissa and Paul are dedicated to offering the absolute best in longarm and Pro-Stitcher education, coupled with exceptional customer service. They invite you to join the vibrant MK Quilts University community and experience the difference for yourself!
I bought an Amara from a local dealer and after 1 day of training I was on my own. I went searching online and found MK Quilts. That's when my quilting journey changed!
I was
As a professional quilter when I first bought my Handi Quilter Forte I needed to get up to speed and quickly. I found MK Quilts! When the University opened, I was thrilled to find videos and tutorials. I was even happier to find MK doing Q and A. I was able to ask questions specifically about things I needed. As I have progressed with Pro-Stitcher I still use the Q & A regularly. When the MOTT program started, I was thrilled to learn how to service and time my machine. Recently I was even able to troubleshoot with Paul and replace a board with very minimal downtime. I
Even though I have been quilting for over twenty years, my proficiency increased dramatically when I purchased my HQ Forte with Pro-Stitcher from MK Quilts about 3 years ago. Melissa’s excellent teaching both in person and online made for an easy transition to a longarm from my stationery sewing machine.
As a Quilts of Valor volunteer, I can determine how a quilt should be quilted, but the quilting patterns are rather varied. This quilt has large plain areas which needed something extra, so I used HQ Studio to join designs to fit the patterns.
My name is Natalia Moskaleva, I'm from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I'm a student of MKQU and want to share with you one of the last project of the quilt. I used simulation PSP and quilted on Infinity 26. Top is pieced by Natalia Egorova.
I bought machine and begun to search trainings or courses and I’ve found Melissa’s video on YouTube. Decided to enter her MKQU. Now I’m a member of Premium membership community. Paul helped us a lot with maintenance advices, unfortunately HQ left Russia and we have no service. So my husband have do it using maintenance book. Thanks a lot for Melissa and Paul for classes. I appreciate a lot of your support, guys! "Happy Quilting"!
