About Pasture Prime Stitches

It started with a passion for quilting

Pasture Prime Stitches was started to share the joy of creating with your own hands and to foster the art of quilting. From finishing your first quilt to mastering new techniques, We're here to support your quilting journey every step of the way.

For many quilters, the journey begins with simple piecing and evolves into mastering complex patterns, paper piecing, appliqué, and beyond. Yet one milestone nearly every quilter encounters is the decision of how to finish their quilts — and that path often leads to a longarm machine.

Free motion quilting on a domestic machine is a common first step, but the limitations of a narrow throat space and restricted work surface quickly become obstacles, particularly as your projects grow in size and ambition.

At some point, the idea of owning a longarm enters the conversation. Questions arise: How frequently would it be used? How many quilts would justify the investment? Is there adequate space? Which brand and size best fit your needs? These are practical considerations that deserve real answers before a significant commitment is made.

Longarm rental is the most effective way to answer those questions. It allows quilters to experience the process firsthand, evaluate their interest, and determine whether ownership aligns with their goals — all without the financial risk of an upfront purchase.

At Pasture Prime Stitches, we offer hourly Handi Quilter longarm rentals to quilters who are ready to take ownership of the finishing process. A one-time, four-hour certification course is required prior to your first hand guided rental, ensuring you feel confident and capable on the machine from day one.

The satisfaction of completing a quilt entirely on your own terms is unmatched.
