Domestic & sit down
If you quilt moving the sandwich while your machine stays still. Whether it is a domestic, a longarm on a table, or anything in between.

hi@orbitalquilting.com
In 2014, Natasha left a career in architecture and Aline, a movie character designer’s lifework, to start their first business: providing longarm quilting services.
The only problem was that none of them had any idea how to free-motion quilt! Much less how to free-motion quilt in a way that quilters would see value in it!
This fact pretty much sums up how excited they’re about quilting and how seriously they took it into their lives in their early twenties, even though they barely knew what it was!
Starting as professional quilters from day zero was (and still is) definitely an adventure; it gave them a lot of joy and some challenges too!
Among the most amazing insights from observing one another! Lol
Dealing with all the different client quilts and surpassing the quilting paralysis is a good example.
They needed to guarantee a practical (and replicable) way to make the quilts look beautiful, like jaw-dropping beautiful, within the budget!
That’s how they invented their first method: Orbital Quilting Architecture – Custom before Custom.
With OQA, they discovered the joy quilting would bring them, so they went deep and started making wholecloths!
The rest is history:
+10 years teaching, sharing, and inspiring,
+4500 students all over the world (and counting),
18 international awards, including best placements in Paducah, Houston, Canada, Grand Rapids, and others,
2 YouTube channels, 2 online quilting schools: one in each language,
+1500 client-quilts finished using OQA in just the 5 years of professional custom quilting activity,
+ Guilds, Quilt Shows, Mentorship in person and online.
Movement is all that matters to them, and they move quite a bit: they’ve created the Orbital Board, their own minimalist ruler line, a sustainable fabric line, a board game for quilters; published 2 books; taught at events, on TV, at fairs, and in online courses, summits, guilds, 2 quilting schools in different languages, as well as 2 YouTube channels, and most importantly: they create methods!
Methods that make quilting feel like a breeze, that shorten the time to master free-motion quilting with confidence, that lead the way to auction and select designs for any kind of quilt…
Methods that paved the street for quilters’ creative carnival with lots of beauty and fun. Well, they’re Brazilians, after all!
All they ever wanted, from the very beginning in their early 20s, was freedom to create, and now they have the pride and joy to spread it among quilters in the whole world!
The arts and design background did help a lot, and a personal interest in neuroscience led to maximum efficacy to get to the point: make free motion quilting fun, easy, and beautiful!
That’s probably why they do so much experimenting: techniques, styles, languages… From minimalist quilts to very traditional aesthetics, if there’s quilting, they’re always snooping!
