Longarm Quilting Presentations

 by

Sam Alberts

Quilting Curve Studio

I have completely immersed myself in the quilting world ever since I patched my first quilt together, much by accident.

But now 15 years later I run a successful custom longarm business and have presented to quilters from the small town of Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada to aboard a ship cruising the Caribbean.  

I love to encourage quilters to get stitching and to be bold about it. 

My presentations are fast-paced and concise without much fluff, with touches of humour and relatability.   

I am currently booking 2025 and 2026 Please E-Mail me to check for availability 

Presentations are also available to Guilds via Zoom

Quilting Complex Paper Pieced Quilts

This two-hour presentation is all about those intricate paper-pieced mandala-styled quilts.  These quilts offer longarmers unique challenges. 

I help quilters recognize these difficulties and offer solutions on how to tackle even the most complex compositions in a way that creates a cohesive design

I discuss my step-by-step process of design and the actual mechanics of quilting these styled quilts on a longarm frame.

Border Design and Math

This one-hour presentation is all about the impressive custom quilted geometric borders that pro quilters create.  

But everyone knows that most quilts are not square.  This presentation is all about how to make these geometric borders fit into the unique space that is a quilt border. 

I have three foolproof ways to make any border design fit.  Also other tips and tricks to fudge the rest!

I show examples of all the different shapes and ruler times you can use to create show-stopping designs for your borders.

Building a Client Base and Social Media Library

I built a successful longarm quilting business in a town with a population of 5000, hours away from the closest quilt shop and shopping center.  

In this one-hour presentation, I share with you how I did that and some actionable steps you can take to begin your journey as well. 

I also share with you how I create quilting content and the online tools and programs I use. I show you how I schedule content a month or even a year in advance.  So you don't have to spend your whole day glued to your phone.  

I show you how you can leverage your photos and videos to help you take your business to the next level.
