Longarm Quilting Appointments

The Collaboratory offers a Bernina Q20 longarm quilting machine. All users must be over the age of 18 and first must be trained by Collaboratory staff. If you were trained on our previous Baby Lock Crown Jewel III (May 2025 or earlier), you must be retrained to use the Q20. To schedule a training appointment, please call (203)265-6754 or email us at wplcollaboratory@gmail.com.

Once trained, you may book time for independent use up to one week in advance. You are allowed a maximum of one session per week. Please bring your quilt top, bottom, and batting. The library provides the thread.

While we do not charge for use of the longarm quilting machine, monetary donations to cover supplies and maintenance are greatly appreciated. We accept cash and checks, as well as debit/credit cards.
