Today I made the deposit on an ABM 26" Innova longarm quilting machine. Now I have to get the grimlins cracking on the garage renovation into the quilting studio.
Don't know how I will get to sleep tonight. I am sooo excite.

Congrats, I'm heavily lusting after that machine! Are you getting the lightening stitch?

Congrats to you! I have an APQS ULT 1 (they don't make it anymore) and just love it. I have thought of upgrading, but just like my machine too much.

If you like it that much then you are making the best call. I just recently had to sell my "real job" after 31 years. Since it was a distress sale I won't realize a lot of money but I decided to spend what I get on what I WANT!

What a lucky gal you are! We expect to see lots of pics of what you do with your new space.

I do have a few nights to sleep. I still have to get the garage converted so I requested a later delivery.
I am already dreaming of all the UFO's that will become completed projects and I am not sleeping yet.

My doors are almost always open. Well let me get the garage finished and the machine in. We could meet for coffee in the meantime. LOL Wini

Did you get yours from Carrie and Tom? I spent a lot of time making this decision and joined the ABM group to read what users think. I am really excited.
