Thank you to all for the input. Along with being new to long arm quilting, I am also new to this site
I really appreciate all the thoughts on the APQS.
The seller is moving out of state which is why she is putting it up for sale. All she said is that she paid $30,000 and that she would like me to make an offer. I really like the advice of offering what I would pay for the HQ. Like my husband says - the worst answer I'll get is no.
I'll continue my research into the machine. Thank you again for the ideas!
