Hi,
I have ended up with an APQS Lenni on a 10 foot table. I love my new system I did have a Nolting Hobby Quilter but it did not have a stitch regulator, this is a must have so I sold my Nolting and bought a second hand Lenni from APQS.
Another thing that I bought were hydraulics this enables me to adjust the height of the machine depending on what I am doing, wouldn't be without them. When I had the Nolting I had a custom table but it was fixed height and I got a terrible back ache. I was told about the hydraulics and now I can quilt all day with no back ache.
APQS also have their own computer called Quilt Path I have just ordered this to help me.
Go and have a look on the APQS website as they do have second hand machines all nicely serviced, website is
apqs.com I had the first second hand machine sold here in the UK direct from APQS, they are now doing very well over here.
Good luck but please go and try as many machines that you can as they all feel different.
Jenny in the UK
