Meet Vicki Hoth, Education Coordinator and
Handi Quilter Extraordinaire. She has been a
quilter since the early 1970’s. Her extensive
background in garment construction and quilt-
related activities has helped jump start her role as
the Handi Quilter Education Coordinator. Her
teaching strategies with ruler work and
pantographs has helped many new long-arm
quilters understand their machines and help
them to have fun with their projects. She likes to
encourage quilters to jump outside of their box by
stretching their talents and trying new
techniques in their quilts.
Become one with your Handi Quilter and join
us as we experiment with many new
techniques, including ruler work and playing
with ProStitcher. We will also discuss ways of
utilizing the “NEW” Handi Feet. Vicki and the
Country Traditions Team will guide you
through many new designs that you could use
in your next quilting project!
