Congrats and enjoy!

I didn't know much about this machine so I just did a quick glance and I must say you made a good choice. I didn't know you could buy a 15" quilter with a queen frame for less than $2,500! Amazing. Have fun with it. I'm sure you've earned it just doing what women do for everyone in their lives!

Yes, keep us all posted on your learning curve, etc. We'd love to hear about it. I know I would at least. How hard was t to set up, how long did it take to put your first quilt on it, etc. ...all those details that seem almost impossible to find on the net.

I am such a spoiled brat. :) |
Can't wait to hear about your experiences with it! I really want to hear first hand from a newbie on a long arm. Congrats!

I still have to make my swear jar......haha .......That way I can curse like a sailor and buy some more fabric when the jar is full......LOL[/QUOTE]
no worries about filling the jar in about a month ;-) |
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing your 'happy moment'. Enjoy the learning process!

You are not a spoiled brat,,, i'm sure you've earned it!!!!
I've been away from here for a while,,, was just looking around,, and saw your post... I know there is a good video on YouTube with a woman i think named Debby,,, she does a super job showing her using this machine and yes, the google group will be very helpful... I actually called and spoke to "Chuck" at Bailey... THIS machine is the only one i will buy when i'm ready to replace my Janome 1600... it's on my Grace Pinnacle frame and i LOVE machine quilting... i only do "loop d loop" so far,,, but the 9" throat is constricting.... I will not upgrade until i "clean up my sewing room"... i'm a bit of a slob... just keep making and thing get piled up and it's just about to my boiling point, so i will not treat myself until it's cleaned up... I'm out of commission at the moment... a "golden years" issue with my back, hip, and i now have RA... so i'm a stewin' over that one... Chuck and i chatted.. that this machine is pretty much like the Singer 201,, that i LOVED way back in the day,, and the fact that it does NOT have a ton of bells and whistles... is what i LOVE... I will want the stitch regulator though... i do not have one now.. and realize it would be a big help when trying to work within a space.... I wish you all the luck in the world with this... you are going to really enjoy doing you own tops in record time and not paying huge money to a longarmer... Sorry if i babbel.. just wanted to jump in... hugs Barbara... |
