I began longarm machine quilting in 1998 when I bought my Gammill Premier. In 2002, I added IntelliStitch to my machine and my husband and I began an association with Kasa Engineering installing IntelliStitch on unregulated machines around the U.S.

In 2006 I added IntelliQuilter to my machine and, together with my husband, began installing IntelliQuilters and supporting iQ users. I have taught iQ classes at several shows and to small groups of iQ owners in the U.S.A, as well as at Australian Machine Quilting Festival, and at privately arranged classes in England.

I have made many iQ demonstration videos that can be found on Youtube and also at the blog iqdemos.com. I also wrote articles about iQ and IntelliStitch for the magazines ‘On Track’ and ‘Machine Quilting Unlimited’. Sadly neither of those magazines are published now.

In addition to quilting for customers, I have entered many of my own quilts in shows around the U.S and have won multiple ribbons.

In 2012 I stopped quilting for customers when we moved from Las Vegas to Springfield in South Dakota, and shortly after our move, my husband and I retired from installing iQ’s. I still offer less formal support online and continue to make instructional videos, and ofcourse enjoy using my iQ on my own quilts.
