  1. We did the move completely ourselves. Lenni was packed in the original box and well secured. Everything was labeled with blue painters tape for all the connecting cords, etc. as we disassembled to make things easier on the other end. The rails and frame were all wrapped with lots of bubble wrap and shrink wrap plastic. I used foam pool noodles sliced like hot-dog buns to go over the bliss tracks to protect them. Everything sat in a climate controlled storage unit for about 6months+ before my dear hubby decided that I really NEEDED my sewing space and we managed to cram it all into our tiny rental house. Things went together smoothly and Lenni was up and running like there had never been a move! Amazing machine from APQS and I'm still loving it as much now as in 2016 when I bought it.
  2. Quilters Dream makes a Cotton that is - Supreme: Highest loft. A hefty, very warm, and dense batting that has 1/2 pound of cotton per square yard according to their website. Might be worth looking at if it sounds like what you are after. Otherwise a double batt of regular might do the trick.
  3. We will be relocating from New England to NC in the next few months and I am looking for any and all advice on moving my Lenni. I have a 12 ft blissed table. I have the original box for Lenni .... but moving the frame and rails....? I think I read somewhere about using pool noodles to cover the rails and wrap them extra with padding? Advice? Suggestions? Tips? Thanks all!
  4. I just use a practice piece I quilted on my Lenni - just serged the edges. :-)
  5. I had a similar situation with Quilters Dream wool (which is machine washable)- it bearded out the back and front of a dark fabric quilt I made for my son. QD customer service told me that it was due to the dark colored fabrics and something in the dyes that cause a static build up to pull the wool fibers and cause them to migrate out. Other's I know have had it happen with wool that is NOT supposed to be machine washed (dry clean only). The only fix I've found - other than picking out the entire quilt - is to use a sweater shaver to mitigate the fuzzies. My son's quilt does this EVERY time it is washed unfortunately. :-(
  6. I've had my Lenni since 2016 and LOVE it! Congrats!
  7. Oh my goodness - how absolutely STUNNING! Very creative and just gorgeous quilting!
