I have a Gammill Optima equipped w/a Statler Stitcher that I purchased Oct 2007. I went back & looked at my records. I didn't track it the 1st year but the years I did track it, I did between 90-100 quilts a year. I have only had to have one service call in the entire time that I've owned my machine. Fortunately for me, the Gammill dealer is only about 20 mins from where I live. It's an expensive piece of equipment, but it did pay for itself over time AND it keeps me busy *smiles*.

I have a Gammill Optimum with a Statler Stitcher - I've had it since June of 2008 - not sure how many quilts I've done on it, but it's a great machine and I've had very few problems with it!

I have the HQ Avante. It's the 18" LA on the 12' table. I love my machine, it's so smooth it just glides. I've been using mine for approximately 5 months and have quilted around 15 quilts. I have experimented using every thread under the sun and have had great success.

Mine is a Bailey Pro 17E with a stitch regulator and a Grace Majestic frame, not computerized. I've had it since middle of September 2012. Thus far I have done 6 large lap quilts, over 55 by 65." Five of them are Quilts of Valor while one is for my DH. I love it! I now have microhandles (made for Bailey by Finishing Touches) which I have been using on a practice sandwich....works great for very small quilting designs. When I don't need them for regular FMQ, the handles can be turned up out of the way. Right now there's another QOV and a smaller charity lap quilt lap ready to be loaded on Bailey. Can't wait. We just got 6 inches of snow and it is still snowing. Perfect timing!

I have the QueenQuilter18, the original version of Tin Lizzie. Only bell is stitch regulation. It's on a 10' Grace frame. I've had it almost a year now, but had problems with the frame in the beginning. It wasn't set up right, operator error on my part. Once I got it straightened out, I've done probably 40 quilts on it. She'll take any thread I throw at her. Tin Lizzie has been great with any support I've needed. She's a workhorse of a machine. Just went to a quilt show & test drove some other machines & am looking to upgrade. I really like the APQS & Handiquilters.

I have an APQS Millie. We got her in May 2004 and have completed about 500 to 1000 quilts for custmers and for my self. I have had two problems in that time and the service was great from APQS to get the machine fixed.

I have a HQ Avante and Prostitcher, for 3 years now. I lost track on how many quilts I have made.

I have an A-1 Elite with a 12 foot table. I have had it since 2006. Never had a minutes trouble out of it. I have quilted over 1000 quilts on it, I quilt for the public.
