The Stumpy Quilter

My 17 year old daughter and I, had a fantastic quilting experience with Jackie Autumn 2023 ( to celebrate my daughter's birthday) . We each completed our quilt top and quilted it over two days. Jackie is an excellent teacher making you feel comfortable to learn in a wonderful environment. A refreshing, inspiring, wonderful break from everyday life. We are trying to work out when we can book our 2024 experience!

THREE GREAT SESSIONS TO DATE
Five of us had a Long Arm Quilter Taster session with Jackie. What a superb day we truly all enjoyed ourselves. ‘Enjoyed ‘ is such a credit to Jackie, the large machine was absolutely new to us all. But Jackie managed to help us all to to complete a pattern onto fabric using a pantograph.
I booked a session to complete my own patchwork on this great Long Arm… what a successful session . Jackie is very relaxing to be with and deceptively clever at making it all seems so easy. My first quilt on Long Arm followed by my second one a month later.
It’s difficult not to over praise Jackie, everything is in the detail. Loads of help with thread choices , pantograph pattern choices. So much input to my success.
What a find. So happy with my quilts.
Thanks Jackie
See you soon

I had a wonderful day with Jackie learning how to use her longarm machine to complete my quilt. Thank you for all your help and support! 😀

I had such a great day with Jackie and learning to pantograph is so much easier than I thought it would be - much better, less strenuous and quicker than using my domestic sewing machine.
Jackie was with me every inch of the way - she really works very hard. We had lots of lovely chats about EVERYTHING and a delicious lunch I wished I had brought the second quilt I’ve already put together so I prolong the brilliant day we had
With very best wishes Jackie and see you pretty soon with the next quilt.
And thank you once again, Gillian xxx

What a fabulous day. We were taken through 4 patterns and then had a go at free motion quilting. Jackie provided a lovely lunch as well. Not as scary as I first thought it would be. Will certainly return to have a go on one of my own quilts.

Best day ever!
What a perfect experience. I booked to quilt a top I had pieced for wedding gift. Looking online for a longarmer to finish my quilt I discovered the Stumpy Quilter. Not only would I get my top quilted but I could have the opportunity to do it myself, how exciting!
I was always a bit nervous to try long arm machines at shows, they looked very complicated and a bit scary. Under Jackie’s guidance it was broken down into easy well explained stages and before you know it you are at the helm guiding Stumpy across your work like a pro.

Not only did I get my quilt quilted
1. it cost less than paying someone to do it for me and I didn’t have to send my precious work through the post.
2. I had the most wonderful day learning.the basics of long arming.
3. Jackie is a patient and knowledgeable teacher and very calming, you feel safe and very practiced by the time you get to stitch your precious quilt.
4. The workroom is easy to access and well lit with plenty of space to move around. Lots of fabulous examples of Jackie’s work hanging on the walls to inspire you.
5. You don’t feel under any pressure, there’s no clock watching.
6. An added bonus is loads of tea and coffee plus a fabulous lunch is included.

Most importantly, I came away feeling very accomplished and so proud, that my quilt is completely my own work ( with a lot of help from Jackie 😉). I can’t wait to return with my next quilt.

Absolutely wonderful day out with Jackie and my quilt quilted too!!

Calm surroundings, expert help, tuition and support with lots of laughs thrown in and tasty lunch.
Have brought a few friends and they have all enjoyed and looking to go back.

Thankyou Jackie for giving us such a wonderful experience here in west Wales. Diolch!!

I have had two fab sessions with Jackie now, one where I tried out a pantograph taster session with a couple of friends and we had great time. Amazing how easy Jackie made it, handling all the technical aspects, but a great teacher too. All three of us, including two complete novices were producing good quality pantograph quilting designs after just a couple of hours and we had great fun and lots of laughs along the way! Lots of cake and chat as well. I have also free motion quilted a complete quilt with Jackie, which was a fab opportunity to try out longarm quilting after many years of FM quilting on my domestic machine. Again Jackie made this a great experience, handling all the technical stuff just leaving me free to enjoy the quilting. We are so lucky to have this unique and affordable experience for quilters in west Wales. Thank you Jackie!

Fantastic taster day with Jackie, her knowledge and expertise gave me confidence to use a long arm quilt for the first time. I would highly recomend The Stumpy Quilter, and will definitely be booking further sessions with Jackie.

exceded my expectations as to what the quilt would look like. I asked Jackie to make a quilt for my daughter who is expecting her first child in October, I gave her colours and styles my daughter had for the nursery and within a few days she had sourced fabric styles patterns soft fillings etc... her attention to detail is extraordinary and the finished quilt is absolutely perfect. sent by courier beautifully and professionally wrapped. everyone I've shown it to as commented about how beautiful it is. so thank you jackie again im positive my daughter and granchild will love it for years to come xxx

Once again Jackie has done an absolutely fantastic job. A beautifully made quilt and burp mats for a gift for a newborn member of my family. Jackie is so professional and so helpful. As I live in Australia and my family is in the Uk nothing is too much trouble for Jackie. She wrapped it and wrote out the card for me and then posted it. I can’t thank her enough.

Just spent a DELIGHTFUL and very enjoyable morning with Jackie who taught me how to long arm quilt. I had a WIP, and the only thing stopping completion was the thought of quilting the thing. Today, I have returned home with A QUILT! What a great day. Jackie is a GREAT teacher, is encouraging, complimentary and, of course, a brilliant trouble shooter when this 'long-arm virgin' got herself in trouble. Many MANY thanks mate x

Absolute perfection of a quilt. Brought a quilt for my son and he loves it! The design is amazing and the stitch work and fabric is so strong but also soft and warm! Would 100% recommend, not a single loose end or stitch out of place!

It arrived very quickly and well packaged, and the lady was such a lovely person to deal with! Will for sure be purchasing another, adult size quilt very soon!

Absolutely blown away by the quality of my two advent quilts. Stunning!!!! Customer service was impeccable. Thank you!!

Great service, Jackie was super helpful! I would highly recommend her, thanks again!
