Schedule of Upcoming Workshops


Longarm University provides the best education in longarm quilting and starting a longarm quilting business. The classes and workshops are taught by a Cindy Roth, who is a very experienced longarm quilter with over 25 years of quilting experience. By attending Longarm University you can expect to have a six to nine month head start in your quilting skills! If you are planning on starting a quilting business, you will be months ahead of someone who hasn't attended Longarm U.

If you already have a longarm quilting machine, you will learn lots of tips, tricks, new designs, patterns and techniques to make your quilting more creative and enjoyable.

 If you don't have a machine yet, don't worry. About one-third to one-half of Longarm U attendees don't have a machine. They learn what to look for in a quilting machine and will learn what kind of machine is best for their machine quilting goals. (Longarm U does NOT sell quilting machines. There is NO "sales pitch" for any kind or brand of quilting machine.)

Each day is jam packed with information, fun, friendship, good food and quilting

Longarm University offers several different types of workshops and classes. They are:

Here is what a student wrote about the Just the Basics and the Starting a Machine Quilting Business Classes

Just wanted to say that class and YOU are simply AMAZING!

The class has expertly presented information and materials in a flowing, step by step building process. Hands on, and theory (the whys) behind the process. A myriad of items to consider, yet a practical method to breaking down any task into successful solutions!

You are an excellent teacher, supportive and yet gently pushing me to get out of my nest and explore new heights in exciting ways! I am SO glad I took this class and looking forward to others in the future! I highly recommend this class and YOU, for anyone sitting on the fence with too many questions and not enough answers! You taught us HOW to fish, and that's a lifelong gift! Thank you, Cindy!

Not only will you learn the basics of making feathers, you will also learn how to make the "More Bang for the Buck" feather, Swirled Feathers, Feathered Wreaths, many different Feather Borders, All Over Free Hand Feathers, background fill-in feathers and much more! You will be seeing feathers in your sleep and making beautiful and easy feathers on your quilts. Lunch, soft drinks and snacks will be provided.
