Every quilter knows that ironing moment: the quilt back or top vortex. You turn and drape and rotate the fabric around the ironing board and think you’ve done it all. But no. There’s a spot you missed. Isn’t there an easier way?

You need a TNT Quilt Board!

A TNT Quilt Board extends your ironing board’s surface. Padded and covered with heavyweight cotton, they can attach to the top of an ironing board (up to 16″) or place on a tabletop. You get a large, smooth ironing space that makes ironing a breeze. Louise swears by them and she has a deal for you.

She picked up three TNT Quilt Boards, each with a different fabric topper. Each ironing board extender measures 26″ x 66.” Save 10% and shipping if you choose one of these TNT Quilt Boards – just $242.99 plus tax. Which one do you want?

Purchase your Great Board from Burlington Electric Quilters during January 2024 and Louise will take care of the shipping. You pick up your board at our Burlington, MA quilting studio.

TNT Quilt Boards are made in Massachusetts. TNT stands for the duo who own the company. Tracy is a quilter and designed the boards; Tim is a wood-worker and builds the boards.

Quick cutting with AccuQuilt

Who wants precise, trimmed fabric pieces so they can start sewing blocks?

If that’s you, come on over! We have a wide range of quilt dies so you can cut quilt pieces quickly with AccuQuilt.

Louise purchased the Studio Cutter 2 shortly after Burlington Electric Quilters opened its doors. She loves the precise pieces and already-trimmed corners. Here are a couple of the quilts that used AccuQuilt for quilt piecing.

Rent AccuQuilt cutter at Burlington Electric Quilters — Half square quilt – Postcards

Never heard of AccuQuilt? Well, get ready for some eye-popping advantages.

This quilting tool slices your fabric cutting time by up to 90%. Whenever she has half square triangles, the AccuQuilt is Louise’s tool of choice.
It trims the corners of pieces, reducing the time it takes to sewing components together.
It’s easier on your wrists and shoulders than rotary cutters.

How does it work? Watch how the AccuQuilt cutter slices so many triangles in a snap.

The AccuQuilt Studio 2 Cutter at Burlington Electric Quilters has hearts, squares, parallelograms, triangles and more shapes to meet your piecing or appliqué requirements. If you’ve got a specific block in mind, let Louise know, as she probably has the right mix of dies ready and waiting.

Ready to learn more about the AccuQuilt? Their website has plenty of how-tos, free patterns and encouragement to get you started. Then turn to your stash and play with the possibilities.

AccuQuilt pieces are a great way to use layer cake, jelly roll and charm packs – not to mention the fat quarter bundles that your stash may be hiding.

Linda C came into the studio last year and thought it was a “game changer.” Cutting half square triangles quickly excited her for new quilt patterns.

“Bring on the patterns full of Half Square Triangles,” she declared.

Maybe you don’t want to start a new quilt, but turn to your WIPs with new inspiration. Want a flying geese border for a king size quilt? Suddenly this could happen in just a fraction of the time. Or maybe you started a T-shirt quilt and haven’t trimmed the blocks. The AccuQuilt cutter makes that job easier, too.

Laurena’s Longarm Quilting is opening under new management on April 4, 2017. You’ll still enjoy the same longarm machines and the same cozy studio, but with a new person helping you accomplish your quilting dreams – Louise Rains.

Our new name is Burlington Electric Quilters – a name that should give a large spark to your creativity! We’re still at the same location, same phone number, and website.

As your new manager, I’m so excited to welcome you and to continue with the fun and joy that quilting brings to us all. I have been a longtime renter, and look forward to meeting you all and assisting you with your beautiful projects. Just a bit about myself – I was born in Salt Lake City, UT, and moved to Billerica, MA, in 2002. I have a husband who supports my stash without too much complaint, a little dog named Stormy, and a bicycle or two that I love to ride. My all-time favorite quilting pattern is Popcorn! I have been working in Boston for the past 8 years, but won’t miss that morning commute, especially when the weather is cold and blustery.

For the month of April, all appointments for quilting time receive 15% off our new rates, which are:
* Mini (3 hrs) $75
* Half day (4 hrs) $100
* Full day (max 8 hrs) $175

Also, if we quilt your project, you will receive 15% off on your batting purchase.

We’re also introducing some evening hours:
* Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM
* Thursday 12 Noon to 8 PM

Studio time is by appointment only, so email or call to schedule your time.

Watch for announcements about our grand opening, classes, klatches, subscriptions, and so much more!

See you soon!

Gammill Vision Longarm for Sale!

October 7, 2016Longarm quilting, Offers and SalesFor sale, Gammill VisionAlanna Nelson

Do you long for your own longarm quilting machine?

I have a used Gammill Vision 1 machine in my fleet for sale!

This sturdy, trusty machine lead demonstrations and quilted many a quilt. You may have seen it in action at a benefit quilt or demo day.

The 18-8 system gives you a color LCD touch screen, choice of stitch regulation or manual mode and an on board bobbin winder. The adjustable laser light is the same as you may have used on the studio’s rental machines.

With an 18″ longarm and a 12″ table, this Vision 1 is perfect for the home free motion quilter. On the tabletop, you can lay out a paper pantograph up to 10″ high and have a comfortable 13″ of free motion space if working from the front of the machine. Swiveled castors on the stand legs lock, but still allow for manageable movement when needed. The Breeze Track System makes for smooth quilting! The leaders have zippered edges.

Are you the lucky quilter who might find this longarm in his/her studio? The price is $7,000.

Its Vision 1 system can be upgraded to a Gammill Vision 2 system. (Gammill charges $1,000 for this type Vision 2 upgrade).

This is a great opportunity to have a sturdy, high quality machine at a great price. Call Laurena at (781) 229- 0734 to make an arrangement to view this Vision 1 machine before it’s gone!
