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  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 EVERY year since. We are now one of the very top national retailers.  MK Quilts is moving toward establishing a national support and technical training program to insure that the highest standards of support are maintained.  
In 2020, MK Quilts moved their online training content to a new format - the MK Quilts University.  Thousands of people immediately flocked to this new community as 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.
MK Quilts will continue to offer unsurpassed training and support as we expand our expertise into new facets of quilting.  We take in trades and sell used systems and sell the Moxie solution 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.

Jimmy and Joyia Lopez

Sales and Fulfillment Managers
Joyia and Jimmy support MK Quilts in a variety of roles.  They are involved in customer relations, sales, and are both certified technicians.

The Future Technician Model

Most people have a hard time finding a reliable service technician.  MK Quilts is building a training program that will allow Machine Owner's to become their own technician for the basic things like Timing and regular cleaning and lubrication.  For those that do not want to undertake this work, MK Quilts will also be building training to educate more owners to become "Professional Technicians" so that they can help others in their area.  This should help the issue of availability.

Meet Our Technical Team

Our values are reflected in the community of people that we associate with.
Although these are independent contractors, each has the same core values for serving others and also supports the other technicians as we learn to serve you better.  MK Quilts assures your satisfaction.
