Superior Custom Quilting
with Gammill Longarm Machine
featuring the Statler Stitcher

         

If You are a Serious Long-Arm Quilter... You NEED The Statler Stitcher!! The "Statler Stitcher™" is the ULTIMATE addition to your Gammill Quilting Machine.  A software program with hardware to operate a hand-guided quilting machine that will stitch almost any design (pattern).  The program can determine the pattern and size, the size of the block, the stitches per inch, the repetitions of the pattern, and the offset of the pattern.   The hardware includes the computer, cables, servo-motors, and computer circuit boards attached to a hand-guided Gammill sewing head, which is guided by the computer instead of by hand. Some of the new features: Pattern restart capability Pattern rotation at any angle Horizontal and vertical flip No-sew between a pattern inside of a pattern Align sewing to the quilt with the square-up quilt function One-page control panel Preview pattern design before sewing Easily size patterns to fill a block Custom design your own patterns using the enhanced record mode directly into AutoSketch™ Thread break sensor Many of the functions can be performed from a keypad on the long-arm handles     Photos of my Gammill/Statler Stitcher Setup Gammill Quilting Systems Machine quilting has come a long way since the days when it was attempted on standard domestic and industrial sewing machines. Imagine the laborious and cumbersome process of moving three layers of fabric through a stationary machine, using only free-style patterns or patterns you had to rely on memory, artistry and technique to perfect! Well, in 1980, those days came to an end when Company Founder Ken Gammill decided there must be an easier, more efficient, and more decorative way to machine quilt by way of a revolutionary idea:  Why not move the sewing machine instead of the fabric? Never before had anyone set out to develop a large throat sewing machine on tracks which could be operated from both sides, moved in any direction, on a specially designed stand that enabled pantograph patterns to be traced directly onto fabric -- making it possible to complete a quilt or bedspread in a matter of hours rather than days.  But how is the fabric held together and advanced? The original two-control hand-guided quilting machine, Gammill Quilting Systems use a series of fabric handling rollers to join the lining, fiberfill, and top fabric over a 12 or 14 foot stand on which the sewing mechanism freely moves. Once the exposed fabric surface is quilted (up to 24 square feet per pass on our largest model), all three fabric layers are advanced simultaneously to reveal the next area to be quilted. It's that simple. But it doesn't stop there. Throughout the history of Gammill Quilting Machine Company, we've continually improved the process -- creating new models and sizes for different quilting needs, adding stitch-regulation (a significant advance in machine quilting), and developing new features and tools to give the longarm quilter’s creativity wings.  Most recently, with the availability of Statler Stitcher automation, the possibilities are unlimited! Perhaps even more important, we've continued to seek out and employ the finest mechanical and electrical parts available to ensure a quality and dependability second to none. Because, as you know, all the "bells and whistles" don't mean a thing if your machine isn't running smoothly and making beautiful stitches -- no matter what style quilting you do.
