Gammill Long Arm Quilting
Machines
Machine quilting has come a long way
since the days when it was attempted on standard domestic and industrial
sewing machines. Imagine the laborious and cumbersome process of moving
three layers of fabric through a stationary machine, using only
free-style patterns or patterns you had to rely on memory, artistry and
technique to perfect!
Well, in 1980, those days came to an end when we decided there must be
an easier, more efficient, and more decorative way to machine quilt by
way of a revolutionary idea: Why not move the sewing machine instead
of the fabric?
Never before had anyone set out to develop a large throat sewing machine
on tracks which could be operated from both sides, moved
in any direction, on a specially designed stand that enabled pantograph
patterns to be traced directly onto fabric -- making it possible to
complete a quilt or bedspread in a matter of minutes rather than hours.
But how is the fabric held together and advanced?
The original two-control hand-guided quilting machine, Gammill
Quilting Systems uses a series of fabric handling rollers to join
the lining, fiberfill, and top fabric over a 12 or 14 foot stand on
which the sewing mechanism freely moves. Once the exposed fabric surface
is quilted (up to 24 square feet per pass on our largest model), all
three fabric layers are advanced simultaneously to reveal the next area
to be quilted. It's that simple.
But it doesn't stop there. Since the formation of the
Gammill Quilting Machine Company,
we've continually improved the process -- creating new models and sizes
for different quilting needs, adding new options, developing features
that enable perfect channel and diagonal quilting, perfect circles,
intricate patterns and designs, and more. Perhaps even more important,
we've continued to seek out and employ the finest mechanical and
electrical parts available to ensure a quality and
dependability second to none. Because, as you know, all the "bells
and whistles" don't mean a thing if your machine isn't running smoothly
and making perfect stitches -- no matter what style quilting you do.
