Pro-Stitcher 501 Thread Painting on Longarm | October 19 - 21, 2026



Thread Painting on Longarm

Turn thread into art.

There’s a moment every Pro-Stitcher student eventually hits — when edge-to-edge quilting feels mastered and custom quilting feels routine — and you find yourself wondering: what’s next?

This is what’s next.

Thread painting on longarm is exactly what it sounds like: using your machine to stitch layered, colorful, breathtakingly detailed paintings in thread.

And here’s the secret: you don’t have to be an artist. The designs are already digitized. You choose the design, prep the file, set up your machine, and stitch. The Pro-Stitcher handles the precision. You handle the creativity.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll complete the full thread painting workflow from start to finish — twice.

Day 1: Design selection, supplies, and Designer Lite basics. Resize, prep, and get ready to stitch.

Day 2: Stitch your first complete thread painting — color by color, layer by layer.

Day 3: Troubleshooting, tension mastery, and your second project of your choosing.

You’ll Leave With

  • Two completed thread paintings
  • Designer Lite workflow skills
  • Settings checklist + thread tracking system
  • Copyright knowledge for design use
  • Confidence to create stunning stitched artwork

Who This Is For

Students who have completed Pro-Stitcher 401 (or equivalent) and are comfortable with basic navigation and design manipulation.
