My friend (lives around the corner) and I bought an APQS Lenni in October which we keep in her loft. The sharing arrangement has worked very well for us both financially and as back up support and trouble shooting for each other. We have leadergrips and can load a Queen sized quilt in about 15 minutes or less including cutting batting. If we are stitching a fairly basic not too dense E2E panto, we can quilt this in 3-4 hours. We float our tops and baste the sides as we go and mark our edges on the front roller with green painter's tape to keep things straight and even. We have quilted more than 100 full sized or larger quilts since October and have an easy to learn and use, low maintenance, few problems machine. We quilt three or four afternoons most weeks and are not one bit sorry that we invested in a longarm.
