About Pat LaPierre & the Free-Motion Slider
 The Naples Quilters Guild was my "launching pad" and there I entered my first quilt in competition. I discovered Diane Gaudynski's book, Guide to Machine Quilting, and it gave me wings. My quilt style is recognized as construction techniques with fine controlled machine quilting.
For three years my husband Tom and I enjoyed our quilt shop in Naples, Florida. The Free~Motion Slider is a result of teaching the machine quilting classes at the shop. Now we are on a new journey and invite you try this new teflon product. The new and improved Supreme Free-Motion Slider will help make quilting easy and fun!
Look for us at the major quilt shows in Paducah, Nashville, Chicago, and Houston. We currently divide our time between Naples, Florida and Bass Harbor, Maine depending on the weather!
