If you haven't heard about the Block RockiT Mid Arm Machine Quilter then you need to read this. The Block RockiT is a machine that is made by the Grace Company who have been making the best quilting frames in the world for 25 years. Kathy Quilts has been selling Grace Frames for 17 of those 25 years.
The Block RockiT has been out for about a year. It has been in the developmental and testing phase for the last five years. Now all the pieces have fallen into place and the Block RockiT is the best entry level quilter you can buy.
The Grace Company makes a machine called Q'nique and it is the same machine as the Block RockiT. Basically the Block RockiT is a special edition of Q'nique that is made just for KathyQuilts.com. The difference between both machines is that Block RockiT is branded as a Kathy Quilts product and is only sold by Kathy Quilts. We don't have any dealers or middle men that need to get their cut of the money so we offer factory direct prices on the machine and quilting frames. There may be other dealers that sell Q'nique but Kathy Quilts will always have a lower price and better value. Call (888)926-0222 and ask what special we are running.
Our mission at Kathy Quilts is to raise the skill level of every quilter we come in contact with. Most pieced quilts have a personality so we want to help you create something really special by bringing out that personality. It is our goal to help you learn what you need to finish your quilts beautifully. Let Kathy Quilts help you to become the quilter you want to be.
The Block RockiT has a 15 inch throat. There are people that will tell you that if you don't have at least an 18 inch or larger throat machine that you can't quilt. This is just not true. If you have someone that owns a longarm machine ask them if they have to lean over their machine frame to quilt. I bet you that at least 90% of them will tell you that they have to extend their arms way over their frame to quilt. You want to be comfortable when you quilt so extending your arms fully isn't a lot of fun. If you are between 5' 2" to 5' 5" you can comfortable reach about 13 to 14 inches, the Block RockiT is perfect because it lets you quilt in that range. Everyone that tries out the Block RockiT likes how light it feels in their hand. It is less cumbersome than the larger machines and less intimidating, not to mention the cost is affordable. The idea of needing a machine that is larger than the blocks you quilt is a fallacy. A longer throat machine will not make you a better quilter. As long as you have at least a 15 inch machine like the Block RockiT you will be able to finish any quilt you want.
The take away here is that Kathy Quilts has an affordable solution for those people that never thought they could afford a longarm style machine quilter. Spend your money on fabric not on a longer throat machine. If you are a professional quilter and you will be making a living off your machine then you might need a larger setup but if you are quilting just for yourself the Block RockiT is exactly what you have been waiting for.
