Long Arm Quilting Machines
The Cotton Patch is proud to be the leading supplier of long-arm quilting machines in the UK. Now there are some sewing machine manufacturers who will try and tell you that they have a longarm quilting machine. In fact they are talking about a slightly bigger domestic sewing machine that actually have limited free arm length and are at best a mid-arm machine. We supply dedicated long-arm quilting machines from Handi Quilter, Grace and Pfaff, either sit down or with a frame, certified for the European market backed up by service and know-how. We have a dedicated Quilt studio where you can try out the machines before you purchase as well as courses and classes to help you get the best out of your machine.
