Bliss is their name for the ball bearings that reduce friction on the horizontal rails of the frame's carriage. (I hope I explained it right!)
I just tried out lots of apqs models yesterday, at their road show in Des Moines, including a Lucey without bliss and everything else with bliss. If I buy one, I will definitely get Bliss. It moved much easier and felt more smooth, less like I was pushing or shoving the machine.
I didn't try small dense quilting on the Lucey without Bliss. On the machines with Bliss, I could control them with my fingertips, but not the machine without Bliss.
