KoolKat Christmas offer 2023

 

How to get those quilts finished for Christmas!

 

During November KoolKat is offering a free binding service to solve the tedious job of finishing your quilt.

 

Not the machine quilting, that’s the easy part.  We do most quilts within 24-48 hours of receiving them.

 

But then what happens?

 

Sometimes they are stored in the “round toit” cupboard.

 

We can fix that.

 

Send your quilt tops to us during November and we will send them fully finished- binding in place - ASOLUTELY FREE.

 

Just go to our website, fill out our order form including ticking the section on binding (single or double-sided) and get it in the post.

 

Binding will only be done if you have ticked this section.

 

Quilt job done and Merry Christmas to the lucky person receiving your gift.

KoolKat Quilting business opportunity

 

KoolKat Quilting business opportunity

Do you see yourself owning and operating a home-based, established quilting business? The owners of KoolKat Quilting, Kat and Geoff Adams are offering, for the first time, KoolKat Quilting, for sale. As you probably know, KoolKat has been operating since 2003 - 20 years!  The business includes 2 large fully computerised Statler Stitchers. These are the leading industrial quilting machines, capable of truly formidable turnover. There is a fully functioning website, a sizeable list of return customers, and a simple and reliable system for running the business. You do not need advanced sewing skills, as the business is 100% all-over or edge-to-edge computerised quilting. However, there is scope for adding more complex quilting to the business and the machines are more than capable of doing this. The business is transportable. It is primarily mail order, so customers send work to you wherever you are. The space required to operate is no larger than a standard double garage!   Why are we selling? Simply put we are not getting any younger, and we'd like to retire. However, our customers are assured that it is business as usual and when a new owner is appointed, we offer training to the same exacting standards that you have enjoyed. If you see yourself in this picture, working from home and enjoying giving great service to lots of wonderful customers, please contact us for an information package about the sale of KoolKat Quilting.

KoolKat Quilting quilt patterns

 For over a decade, Kat Adams of KoolKat Quilting designed quilt patterns which we sold via several quilt shops and on line suppliers.

We have since ceased manufacturing and selling of KoolKat patterns and sold what remained of our printed stock to Keep Quilting in Victoria.

We were later asked to supply pdf files of our original patterns so that Keep Quilting could continue to print patterns from our files under a royalty agreement.

KoolKat is no longer printing any of our patterns and the responsibility for the quality of patterns purchased from Keep Quilting is that of Keep Quilting.

Please contact Keep Quilting regarding any perceived issues with quality of printing.

Thank you you to our customers for the July special

 

Thank you everyone who took up the Christmas in July special machine quilting offer.  We had a record month in the number of quilts handled, and the last of these was completed this week. We found the drop off box for quilts received and pick up box for completed quilts seemed to work well for visitors to the studio.  We'd like to continue with this, and it may well become mandatory should a Covid outbreak occur in our Local Government Area. Visitors are still able to have a consultation with us if you need it, but almost all of our visitors last month were able to download and complete an order form and attach this to their quilt as our mail order customers have been doing over the years. The quilt order form is on our home page http://www.koolkatquilting.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/2021-Quilt-order-form.pdf The quilt collection box on the front patio is convenient for visitors as they may collect a quilt at any time, and not be dependent on our opening hours.  For this to work, payment must be made on receiving our invoice, and when using electronic transfer, allow 1-2 days if you use a different bank to us (Commonwealth). We ask also that you let us know when you are dropping off a quilt, and the day when you are coming to collect it when we advise you it is ready.  We do not leave quilts out overnight, although the boxes are sealed containers. Thanks again for your support and happy quilting.
