Logan Jacobson began upcycling at a young age. The quilt, Broken to Built, was made from shirts found at Goodwill. With the exception of pinning, Logan made the whole quilt and quilted it on the family longarm.
Broken to Built won First Place, Youth Quilts, sponsored by Cotton + Steel, at QuiltCon 2020.

Part 2 in BERNINA's series of Longarm Quilting for Beginners deals with the frame of the machine.
Most longarm frames are very similar in construction. A frame is made up of three rails to hold the quilt before and after it is quilted. They also have legs to hold the rails up off the floor so that it is easy to stand or sit on a tall stool to move the Sewhead on a carriage to quilt.
The three rails on the frame (Take-up Rail, Backing Rail, and Top Rail) are very important in keeping the quilt straight and smooth during the quilting process. The three rails all have their own purpose.
Part 1 gave you some things to think about if you decide to purchase a longarm on a frame. The later blogs will touch on basic techniques, feature highlights of the BERNINA Q Series and BERNINA Q-matic Longarm Quilting Automation System.
