Welcome
Longarmchat is a group of longarm quilters sharing ideas, resources, inspiration and more. In 2002 with just a small community, a few picture links and a chat room, we began as the original longarm machine forum site on the internet. Today we currently hosts over 4,000 members with a searchable database of 200,000+ posts. With active forums, galleries, member's desktop areas and now the implementation of videos, we are seeing beginners turn into award winning quilters, hobby quilters turn into flourishing businesses and longarm quilters all around learning tips and techniques from this sharing community. Whether or not you own a business, are thinking of owning a business or are just a hobby quilter, you will glean valuable information here on Longarmchat.com.
