Ready Set Quilt grew from Tom DeMoss’s lifelong interest in machines and technology and a love of quilting that came later in life. With a background in industrial electronics, medical equipment and many years with Toyota Logistics, Tom was accustomed to understanding how things work, solving problems and helping people get the most from their equipment.

​

Quilting entered the picture when Tom’s wife, Marinetta, made a quilt top for their grandchildren. Tom became interested in the machine-quilting side of the process, and before long, quilting had become much more than a hobby. After moving to Texas to be closer to family, encouragement from a longtime friend and mentor led Tom to explore the longarm business. His search eventually brought him to INNOVA.

 

What began as an INNOVA dealership has grown into Ready Set Quilt, a working quilt shop in Plano where Tom helps quilters choose, learn and enjoy their machines—and where fabric, classes, Open Sew and a shared love of quilting have created something even more important:   a community.
