Creative Studio 7 Retreat - February 2025
Do you own a Gammill Statler or Statler Ascend and you want to take your quilting beyond setting up edge-to-edge. You've already made the decision to purchase the best machine on the market with the most powerful and comprehensive design software available, but now it's time to learn how to fully utilize that software to work for you.
As a Creative Studio user herself, Vida can help you do that in the best way possible; one-on-one personalized training to learn exactly what you want to learn at your own pace. The Sew Fly Studio is equipped with two machines, a Statler and Statler Ascend, so no matter which computerized Gammill you are stitching on you can learn on the same model.
Your Creative Studio 7 training will be customized to your learning needs and you will be quilting your own quilt! So if you have a quilt you've been holding off on, bring it! Once you book your retreat, we will consult with you and create a curriculum just for you.
Total cost of the retreat is $1250 - a $500 non-refundable deposit is required to book and reserve your spot. Please read the our cancellation policy before booking.
Pricing includes 5 days of teaching (10 am - 5 pm), meals and ground transportation.
