Course Curriculum
Tonia Brooks
It all began with a sewing machine, and they just got larger! In 2010 I purchased my A1 Longarm Quilting Machine and learnt to handguide designs I made, along with LOTS of e2e from paper patterns. Three years later I purchased my IntelliQuilter ClassiQ System. A whole new world opened up for me. I have taught at Australian Machine Quilting Festival in 2016. Sharing the amazing capacity of IQ design and features. Teaching has always been a core value of mine and now I get to do this on the Machine Quilting Academy Platform. My motto is, "If you can imagine it, you can IQ it".
The Intelliquilter (IQ) support and knowledge provided by Tracey Browning is first rate! Her experience as both an A1 Quilting machine & IQ dealer and award-winning machine quilter are invaluable in assisting me with any technical issues I have had over the years. I am so impressed by her knowledge that I purchased a membership to IQ Machine Quilting Academy as soon as I heard about it. Highly recommend Tracey’s skill and know how!
