Why Gammill? Gammill is a world wide renowned company that has been manufacturing its own brand of quilting machines since 1979 and in the early 1980s became the first company to develop a large-throat sewing machine on tracks which could be operated from both sides. This created a massive impact on the quilting world, as it became possible to complete a quilt in a matter of hours rather than days.
What is a Statler Stitcher? The Statler Stitcher is a unique combination of a Gammill sewing head and a computer and software program, invented and developed by Paul Statler. This means that the machine is computer guided enabling it to stitch almost any design including intricate patterns.The Statler Stitcher allows us to determine accurate pattern and block size, stitches per inch, repetitions of the pattern and the offset of the pattern.
