Set up my Block Rockit yesterday. I am in love. Still playing with tension but certainly not the nightmare people have made it out to be. Looking pretty good already! Looking forward to many years of use with my new toy.
Many thanks to KathyQuilts for all the wonderful service I have received since purchasing my Block ROCKiT (Sable) in January 2016 at the Road to California Quilt Show.
I knew there would be a learning curve to transfer from FMQ on my Janome 7700 to the Block ROCKiT but I could not believe how much easier it was than I thought it would be. I FMQed a couple of small preprinted panels first to get accustomed to adjusting the tension on the machine. Then I put a queen sized quilt that my daughter had pieced onto the frame. I had so much fun. For the next quilt, I used the Quilter’s Creative Touch software and Glide thread top and bobbin. Not one broken thread. I sat on my very tall, comfortable, adjustable stool and was the laziest quilter in the world with a grin on my face that stretched from ear to ear. Used four patterns and found out that I have a lot to learn about laying these patterns out. I was so anxious to use the software and so amazed by all the nice patterns that I did not consider placement as much as I should have. So I ordered some cheater quilt tops for practice. Those cheater quilts be awesome for car quilts.
Thank you so much Lynn and Kathy for everything. Lynn is always there answering his e-mail and is so good and tactful at answering my sometimes “stupid” questions. Kathy gave me many helpful hints at the Quilt Show. What a wonderful team.
I love my Sable BRI and am so appreciative of the wonderful service and assistance provided by Kathy Quilts. Many thanks.

I have had my BRI for over one and a half years. I bought the machine and frame as a package and have been more than happy with it. I have quilted numerous types and sizes of quilts. I have not purchased any equipment to use other than my original purchase. It serves me well. I quilt some for sale but mostly for gifts. I have no desire to change my machine. The few times I have had to call Grace they have taken care of my need immediately. Thanks to all at Kathy quilts and Grace Co for making me a very happy quilter. Sarah in South Georgia
