The Quilt Connection goes digital!

Welcome Intelliquilter!
I don't know if you're aware but I've been hankering after a computer for my quilting machine for some time. I've been humming and hawing, waiting for the dollar to improve, tossing up between this machine and that... You know how it goes.


Eventually I decided on the Intelliquilter and now I have it I'm thrilled with what it offers both me, as the operator, and my customers. In fact I've had it now for about 12 months but I wanted to really run it through its paces and totally get my head around the many ways it has to enhance my creativity before I told you about it.

The image on the left is how Intelliquilter sees the pattern. This one is called Sabrina and is designed by Donna Kleinke of One Song Needle Arts. The image on the right shows the quilted version. Isn't it lovely?

New quilting horizons

The Intelliquilter has so many features but from the point of view of "what's in it for you, my customers" it boils down to the following:

  • I can now boast a fast turn-around for pantograph (E2E) quilting - only a couple of weeks

  • The fact that I can be attending to other things in my studio while the machine is working for me hands-free, is such a welcome change and allows me to service more customers

  • The Intelliquilter produces perfect and exact quilting

  • No need for paper patterns anymore. Patterns are digitised and stitched out exactly as the designer intended.

The Intelliquilter gives my creativity full rein so please give me a call on 07 3862 8797 or come and talk to me about the many exciting options I can create for your special quilt.
