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 so impressed with everything about MK, that I decided to trade in my Amara 20 for a Forte. I live in Oklahoma and, with Paul's help, got everything set up myself. Definitely MK changed my quilting journey. I could never have been able to quilt something like Blue September without MK and MK Quilts University.

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 highly recommend MK Quilts whenever possible.

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. MK Quilts University continues to be a great resource with new courses and Q&A sessions.

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. After 2 years of studying, began to create projects as MKQU style, 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"!
