I might be mad (probably am!) but I just bought an APQS Larry and it should be delivered next week. I went against all the "rules" for buying a long arm and bought it without test driving one. I'm at home ALL the time with my kiddos and never can get out for quilt shows or quilt lessons or demos. I've been watching all the usual recommended used longarm websites for about five years and I figured, even though anything is better than my current setup, I didn't want to buy something with questionable reputation or someone else's lemon. I also really didn't want to travel hours away to pick it up. We have an APQS dealer here in our tiny town of 1500 people and my hubby was determined to get me my dream machine. He organized it all and I just signed on the dotted line! My APQS dealer threw in some deals, like $1k off, free in home setup, a day of lessons, batting, needles and the ruler base. I added Bliss to the system. I'm beyond excited and can't wait to play with it! I never ask for things or buy things for myself so I really appreciate my husband getting me such a big toy! One far off day I might quilt for others, but as of right now, I'm just planning on quilting for myself and family.
