Longarm University is where teachers and students come together to learn the art of longarm quilting.
Longarm University is located about 20 miles south of Seattle, WA and
about 8 miles from Sea-Tac (Seattle) airport in Kent, WA. It is in a
semi-rural area about half way between Seattle and Tacoma, WA. Longarm U
is close to lodging, restaurants and RV accommodations.
Workshops
and classes are held in a professional longarm quilter's studio. By having
classes in a quilting studio, you get to see how a quilter has her studio
set up and how she works on a daily basis.
Each workshop has a maximum of 6 students Classes are a combination of hands-on, demonstration and lectures and each instructor gives many class handouts with their classes.
At Longarm U we use a Gammill Classic Plus longarm quilting machine. Longarm University does not endorse any specific brand of quilting machines. ALL the quilting machines that are on the market are good, well made machines. Longarm University instructors are familiar will ALL machine types. If you have a machine (or are thinking of purchasing a machine) which is different from the one used in class, that's all right. The instructors will tell you when procedures would be different on your machine.
The tuition for each workshop varies. Included in the tuition is -- all teachers fees, workshop materials, lunch on class days, snacks, and soft drinks. There are also many extras: class binders, class handouts, certificates, etc. that are included in the tuition.
All our teachers are creative, inspiring, motivating and make the classes a fun learning experi
The main teacher at Longarm University is Cindy Roth.
Cindy Roth has been running a successful machine quilting business and has been teaching longarm quilting classes for over 25 years! She is an talented and innovative quilter and has won many awards during her quilting career.

As longarm quilters, we need specialized items and supplies for our quilting business. These supplies such as patterns, threads, notions, etc., are not readily available in one place. The Longarm University® Bookstore brings these specialized supplies together in one place. I am always on the lookout for new and exciting items that will appeal to longarm quilters. Professional longarm quilters have tested all items in the bookstore. Of course, there is a money back guarantee. You can order from the Bookstore on-line, or by phone.
