About MK Quilts

MK Quilts has been in business since 2008.  Grown out of a passion for quilting and longarming, the business expanded into training and support for Pro-Stitcher computerized longarms.  Now with a community of thousands and hundreds of people actively subscribed to the MK Quilts University, we are selling dozens of Handi Quilter longarm machines with Pro-Stitcher nationally each year.  All owners get superior support and training that is unmatched anywhere.  MK Quilts has achieved the 'Top 25 Retailers' award within their first year of selling machines and are now one of the top 10 national retailers.  MK Quilts has moved to establish a national support and technical staff to insure that their highest standards of support are maintained.  
In 2020, MK Quilts moved their online training content to a new format - the MK Quilts University.  Hundreds of people immediately flocked to this new community as the Covid-19 prevented most conventional retailers from supporting their customers.  MK Quilts has added very talented people to the company to insure that our quality of service and support continues to be exceptional.  We thank all of our supporters for making this all possible.
In 2021, MK Quilts will continue to offer unsurpassed training and support as we expand our expertise into new facets of quilting.  We now take in trades and sell used systems so that people on a restricted budget can still get started with their own longarm.  Many members of our community have stepped up and taken positions with MK Quilts to share their skills and help us support others.  If you are interested in being a contributor or a technician, please click the Partner Opportunities button at the bottom of the page.
