Have you ever wondered how someone learns how to use her/his longarm quilting machine? Many owners of Baby Lock Crown Jewel machines attended a hands-on event taught by Kay Capps Cross at the Huntington Beach Moore’s Sewing Center on Wednesday, August 1, 2012. And most of those owners and people who have other machines, or wanted to learn more about long arm quilting, attended Kay’s non-machine specific quilting concepts classes on Tuesday, July 31.
Everything is ready — time to welcome our guests.

On the second day, Kay discussed, demonstrated live, and had the class try many things to coach the students rapidly past many of the ‘fears’ and ‘hang-ups’ that newcomers to a new interest tend to experience. The formality of the classroom evaporated quickly as she worked some psychological magic on the students…..  you had to be there to see the cause and effect of her charisma.

The class is ready to try what they learned.

The hands-on day ended with new owners and previous-purchase owners of the Crown Jewel ready to go home and start creating.
