Our Story

My wife, Marinetta has sewn for many years.  It wasn't until we had grandchildren that she wanted to make them a quilt.  So she did.  However, after the top was finished, she turned it over to me.  We bought a mid arm quilting machine and off I went.  I quickly learned to love machine quilting and then even piecing, making several quilts myself.  My mentor, Betty Cummings, owner of Village Mercantile, Boonville, Indiana, encouraged me to sell Innova machines when she found out we were moving to Texas.  I did a lot of investigation into all the longarm machines and agreed that INNOVA was truly the best longarm machine on the market.  I went to the Houston Quilt Show where i made initial contact with INNOVA.  I later became a subdealer for Jo's Quilting Studio in Richmond, Texas.  i have since became my own Platinum Dealer where I sale, service, train and have in store rental of INNOVA longarm machines for the North Texas area.
