Why is it important that you go through me as sales rep, and ultimately have Accomplish Quilting as your dealership?

1.Established Business: Accomplish Quilting is a well established business. See their website at http://www.accomplishquilting.com

2. Knowledge  The staff are all knowledgeable when you call for help. Everyone at Accomplish Quilting has done quilting with these machines.

3. IntegrityI have had several people use the same word for my boss, Jeff Benedict. They all call him a man of integrity.

4. Warranty/Repair:These machines have a four year warranty when purchased new, and are built to last a lifetime (at least 40 years I am told) but they occasionally have issues that need repair. Most are small things repairable right at home by the helpful directions given by the guys who know repairs over the phone. But if there are bigger repairs needed, AQ can do them. Jeff knows these machines like the back of his hand, to use a tired cliché' and he also has a part time repair guy named David who is also quite knowledgeable. It is always important  to know that the one you buy from can also fix what you bought if there is a problem, and that there is more than one in place to do the work if something happens to one of them.

5. Classes and supplies: From time to time, AQ brings in great longarm teachers to their company and you are able to go get extra specialty classes there in beautiful Michigan if you so wish. AQ also has many helpful longarm books, threads, tools, batting and all in supplies from which you may order also.

Deal with the best and you won't be disappointed.

Which machine do you NEED? Handguided variety or Statler Computerized variety? Why should you  purchase a Gammill instead of another company's machine?

Why buy Statler computerized?

1. For business: It has been true ever since the industrial revolution that the companies that continue with outdated equipment eventually are left behind.
2. The Statler can do so many designs (over 600) right out of the box, and it can do them with repeated precision at a faster pace than anyone can handguide similar patterns. And now with the new Creative Studio program it does even so much more! We can now fit a pattern to ANY size and shape of block, and put in backgrounds without stitching over central designs or appliqués!
3. Easier on arm joints and on backs not to have to pull on a machine all day long.

Why buy handguided instead of Statler guided machine?
1. Lower cost.
2. You are quilting for yourself primarily so time is not a factor.
3. You are very creative and don't like the looks of repeated precision work. You want to handguide your own ideas.
4. You just like less precision look because you want it to say it was Hand Done. You like the person feel created by Hand done work rather than the machine quilted less personal feel. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying beautiful quilts are not finished by talented creative handguided people and work, there are. It is just harder to get to that level of expertise.

So why buy Gammill handguided or Gammill with Statler rather than a competitor's machines?
1. 4 years parts and labor warranty.
2.The Statler was originally created by Mr. Statler and he used a Gammill machine along side it as he created it, so they work together seamlessly.
3.The company is committed to staying ahead of the competition in design and function. The table or frame of the Gammill is unlike any of the competition's frames so you get the flattest and largest surface for quilting. Very important. 
4. It has the heaviest bars to resist any bending.
5. Gammill machines have over 20 exclusive features, so more than I wish to post here. Contact me and I will send you a page that summarizes our benefits.
6. We have extensive supports available. Statler, Gammill, yahoo groups, the dealers, and the sales reps are all here to help you if you have problems. 
7. One of the things I like best is that when Mr. Gammill retired he was replaced by several folks so his legacy will continue. Mr. Statler is still at the helm, but he has quite a few young geniuses to keep this business going whenever he steps down. These machines are backed up with years of experience and with the promise of only better things to come.
 
The frame is THE THING that makes me say, you need a Gammill! I will also share that I had another brand and model of machine before I had my Gammill. It was a nice machine. It did not give me the same quilting space and so I had to roll the quilt much more often and that meant more starts and stops. The frame did not so easily accomplish a flat finished quilt, and I thought it did a great job running threads, but when I tried my Gammill, I found that I could run more types of thread more easily and with greater accuracy than I did with my previous machine. So I would have to say that you get better tensions when you are taught how to work with your tensions and we do that in your free two days of training.
Am I biased? Of course. But have I reason to be biased besides the fact that I sell these machines? Yes, I think so, and you have just read why I think so. Now, the question is, what do you think? Don't buy anything until you have tried out a Gammill!
