It can be difficult learning to use your machine when physical classes are difficult to attend. I am located in the Riverina area of New South Wales, Australia. As long as you can understand an Australian accent, I can teach anywhere online! Please contact me with any queries you have and I can send you more information and costs.
One on One learning for your Gammill Statler Quilting Machine using Facetime, Zoom, Skype, Messaging and notes on what we have covered. All classes are aimed at hands on training, you can work on your quilt with me there to support you, not working in Stand Alone Mode. I started with a Gammill Classic Plus in 2003 which I had retrofitted to Statler in 2010. I purchased a Gammill Optimum with Statler in 2017 and now operate two machines.
If you are using Creative Studio 6 and would like help gaining confidence upgrading to Creative Studio 7, Gammill can help you upgrade the software and we can take it from there. You can continue to use Creative Studio 6 on the same computer until you’re ready to leave it behind. If you are staying with Creative Studio 6 for computer reasons, I can teach in that package also.
