I choose MK Quilts to buy from based on a recommendation from a friend who bragged about the excellent service that they received from MK Quilts, so when I decided to take the plunge and buy a long arm, who else to buy from but MK Quilts. Haven't regretted my decision. Very professional & very responsive to any assistance I need and also makes me feel like I am part of the long arm quilt family. Highly recommend using them to purchase your long arm, you won't regret your decision.

I purchased my Forte with Pro-Stitcher from MKQuilts because of support!  Anyone can sell a machine but having excellent support after the sale was my number one consideration.  With all of the free YouTube videos, the ongoing tips and shared knowledge, as well as the purchased videos, MK's training is superior!  Buying a machine is a huge investment and being able to use it to its full potential is possible when you have MK and Mr. MK in your corner.

Words can not express how great my experience has been with MK Quilts.  I am the new owner of my 'dream' set-up.  (The new Amara + Pro-Stitcher)  Melissa and Paul have been encouraging, kind, and helpful through the entire process.  What's better, is that by purchasing my Pro-Stitcher through them, I get not only MK's assistance with navigating Pro-Stitcher, but I also get Mr. MK's IT support.  (Which I have ALREADY used!) No matter where you live, they can help.  Their customer service can't be beat.  These two are seriously the real deal!
