JACK-O’-LANTERN FREE-MOTION QUILTING



With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to carve (or quilt) our pumpkins into Jack-O’-Lanterns. For hundreds of years, people have been carving scary faces into turnips, potatoes and pumpkins. The practice began in Ireland with a folktale about a man named Stingy Jack who tricked the Devil and was cursed to roam the Earth with only a coal in a carved-out turnip to light his way. Irish immigrants in the United States found that pumpkins were the perfect fruit to carry on their Halloween tradition. Now we can begin a new tradition by quilting our Jack-O’-Lanterns with this adorable new motif!

Tired of disappointing vacuums?

We’ve all had them. Ones that don’t seem to pick up anything. Others that clog every time you use them. And those that start off strong, but quickly fall apart and need to be replaced after only a year or so of service. It was out of these same frustrations that Riccar was born.
Every vacuum that bears that Riccar name is designed not only for exceptional cleaning performance, but with the long term in mind. While others skimp and use plastic, the high-wear areas throughout Riccar vacuums incorporate metal components. It’s simply what’s required to ensure every Riccar vacuum provides unrivaled cleaning performance that we can stand behind with some of the longest warranties in the industry.
