In February, 2005 we had the priviledge of visiting the KenQuilt factory in Kechi, Kansas. While there we trained on the use of the new Intellistitch Turbo CLŪ. What a fabulous upgrade to the long-arm quilters! We were totally impressed.
We were also impressed with the new Princess mid-arm machine which we trained on. And there are more exciting changes coming!
But a visit couldn't be complete without seeing their manufacturing facility and visiting with Larry Black and the owners, Stewart and Kim Schake who have made innovative and significant upgrades since they have arrived. We've included a few photos below. If you get the opportunity and are in the Witchita, Kansas area, you should stop by KenQuilt, located on the north side of town in Kechi, Kansas. There is a Comfort Inn and good restaurants adjacent to the motel - and all within 2 miles of KenQuilt.
