## What is LongArm Assistant?

LongArm Assistant is a mobile and web solution for long arm quilters who run their own business. Stop tracking customer quilts on paper or in
  spreadsheets — LongArm Assistant gives you a complete digital workflow from the moment a quilt is received to the moment it is delivered.

  Intake and Pricing
  Log each quilt as it comes in: customer name, quilt dimensions, services requested, and any special notes. Generate accurate pricing estimates in
  seconds using your own custom pricing. Send customers a clear, professional estimate before any work begins — then convert it to an invoice when the
  job is done.

  Status Tracking
  Move every quilt through your pipeline: Received, Quilting, Finished, Delivered. Your entire workload is visible at a glance so nothing gets lost,
  forgotten, or held past its due date. Track due dates on a visual calendar and see upcoming work organized by deadline.

  Pattern Library (Web Companion)
  Organize your digital quilting patterns with the companion web app at longarmassistant.com. Upload pattern files, add custom tags for easy search, and
  preview how each pattern tiles. Share a customer-facing gallery so clients can browse and choose a pattern before drop-off — and link it directly to a
  quilt's intake form so the pattern choice is never lost between the conversation and the machine.

  Business Insights
  Know how your business is performing with built-in reporting. See revenue earned, square inches quilted, pipeline value, and quilt throughput by week,
  month, or all time. A weekly summary celebrates your progress and keeps you motivated.

  Customer Intake Forms
  Share a custom web form with customers before drop-off so they can submit quilt details in advance. Reduce manual data entry at pickup and get cleaner
  information from your clients from the start.

  Accounting Export
  Export your delivered quilt invoice data for record-keeping or your accounting system.

  LongArm Assistant is designed for quilters, built to scale. Whether you are managing a handful of quilts or dozens, it brings calm, organized clarity
  to your quilt business.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-19*

There are no worlds to properly describe this app.  It is a complete comprehensive app for any Longarm Quilter.  I use mine for a business. However, even if you just quilt for yourself.  You can take photos of your quilts, calculate the square inches and it auto calculates how many linear inches of binding you need.     You can input the thread type, batting type and needle type that is needed with any particular quilt. With online access you can upload your pattern library!  There is no place anywhere to fill this need. Once your quilting pattern is in the library, you can tile it out and see what it will look like. 
This app creates estimates and final bills. It tracks all your quilts and what place they are in the process. It keeps track of anything that you can think of.   It has numerous places to put notes under specific sections.  I literally could go on for hours. 
I have used it since release and I am finding new things that this app can do everytime I turn it on.  I have moved from paper, whiteboards and wall mounted calendars to exclusively using this app.  
I quilted nearly 500 quilts last year and have never been as organized as I am now. It does all the thinking for you.  You just need to input a few numbers and the job is done. It tracks quilts from the day they are received by you to the day they are delivered and paid for.  There is even a place to input any tips that you may receive.  
For those of you that quilt for charity there is a toggle switch that marks those quilts as nontaxable. 
I know a new update was released today and that more updates and improvements are on the way!  
This app is like having your own personal assistant to keep track of what you are doing and how many quilts you have. This app is such a great quality of life in my quilting world. I do highly suggest a subscription.  The price is nominal, less than you may spend on receipt books and spreasheet programs. It also looks very professional to clients and, from feedback from my clients, a professional addition to my quilting business. 
Note**This app was developed for Apple Devices. However, if you are an Android user, you can subscribe to web based services to upload your pattern library, so no longer do you need to carry binders of your designs to meet clients. 
Without a subscription, some features may not be available. 
I highly recommend this app with a full subscription.

Other bug fixes.

### 1.0.10 — 2026-07-19

Edit invoices after delivery. Invoices are no longer locked once a quilt is delivered. Add or adjust line items and catalog items, apply a discount, and change priced work — and edits to intake fields flow straight into the invoice. Totals, tax, and balance due recalculate automatically. The original estimate stays frozen as the historical quote.

Create an invoice for a quilt delivered without one. If you used "Deliver Without Finalizing," the invoice screen now has a Create Invoice button that generates the invoice from the estimate — editable from then on.

Record additional payments on a paid invoice. You can now record a payment even after an invoice is settled — for a correction or an extra payment. When a payment exceeds the balance, choose to keep the extra as a credit (the default) or mark it as a tip.
