support Policy
If it takes more than 15 minutes to address your issue, you may be charged for service based on these guidelines:
  • MK Owners - the people that have supported us by buying their systems from us - are not charged for support.  Labor may be charged on repairs beyond the 1-year extended warranty provided by MK Quilts.
  • MK Quilts University Premium Members - those supporting us with a monthly membership - are entitled to call us free for 30 minutes for free, no matter where they purchased their machine.  Issues requiring more than 30 minutes to resolve will be billed at only 50% of the regular hourly rate.
  • Owners of other MK products or accessories will not be charged for any related support.

​Why do we charge for support?  -  We are not Handi Quilter. - We are an independent retailer of Handi Quilter.  The retailer that sold you your machine is responsible for your support and training.  Unlike most other retailers, we go out of our way to stock parts, loaner machines, and train technicians across the country so that we continue to excel at our support.  All of these efforts cost us our time and money.  Thank you for your understanding.
Warranty work on other OEM machines
We stock many of the Handi Quilter machine parts and they are normally warrantied for up to 5-years.  (Labor is not included.)  Other companies are selling OEM (original equipment manufacturer) products that use the same parts.  If we must replace a warranty part in an OEM machine, the customer may be responsible for getting the part through their original dealer or will be charged for the part.  We do not have relationships with secondary (OEM) companies to replace the warranty parts.

I had a motor error. I emailed MK Quilts support and received a call back in less than 10 minutes. Paul sent me a motor which arrived quickly. My husband installed it and I was back up and quilting in record time. Very impressed with the service I have always received from KK Quilts. Definitely will purchase from them whenever I can.

Can’t say enough about this business. I waited 2 weeks for my local dealer to get me a part that I got from MK in 3 days. Got my machine back from my dealer with damage to another part. I run a longarm quilting business and did not have time for all this downtime. I called MK talked directly to Paul who was kind, professional and knowledgeable…he went above and beyond. I had my part within 24 hours and happy to say I am up and running again. Definitely earned all my future business
