Laurel Barrus
“I decided I was going to build it myself.”
Laurel Barrus has always loved sewing, so it’s no surprise that she’s the creative force behind Handi Quilter. The idea was born out of a personal need: she wanted to take a machine quilting frame to her family cabin but couldn’t find anything portable enough. So, like any determined maker, she built one herself!

Do you have a passion for longarm quilting, a love of travel, and a desire to share your skills with others? Handi Quilter is looking for enthusiastic longarm quilting educators to lead classes, inspire makers, and represent HQ at shows and events across the U.S., Canada, and beyond!
Our National Educators come from all walks of life—teachers, shop owners, business entrepreneurs, pattern designers, caregivers, and more. What unites them is a shared love of quilting and a drive to help others grow in their craft.
Quilters are wonderfully diverse—and so is our team of National Educators. If you’re ready for adventure, new friendships, and the joy of teaching quilting around the world, we’d love to hear from you!
