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.
