pumpkinpatchquilter Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I have been sharing on FB all day today from my phone but have neglected to bombard everyone else! LOL! Let's remedy that, ok? You all are so wonderful, I have to say. You have answered my questions and hung out with me in anticipation and excitement, it's really meant a lot! I am so glad I had all of you to share with! Here is my "new" to me Millennium! Our family is a wee bit Disney obsessed...so in the spirit of my two favorite things...Disney and quilting...we named her "Millie Mouse"! Here she is all set up on her new carriage, wheels! The MM wheels really DID make a huge difference for me...at least until they've been broken in...I hope it doesn't change because I'm over the moon with the movement. The stitch regulator...oh the stitch regulator is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe I have been going without this for so long. 15885_947393415273912_7699612489073490301_n by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr Here are a few photos of my first stitches with Millie Mouse... 11025132_947545961925324_3105395713804929577_n by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr I think we are going to get along WONDERFULLY! I am just so happy I cannot even tell you. All my worries were silly. The ruler foot is wonderful - not only does it make rulers so much easier and I think I'm going to be ok with circle rulers. Nigel was right - and I'm a dork - what I thought was a spool pin was for shipping my laser. LOL! But hey - now I know! I had questions and APQS got back to me quickly and fixed me all up - I just couldn't be happier! Tomorrow I'm going to fiddle with some metallic thread and get to work on client quilts. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Mercedes - no paper, just batting that I didn't cut very neatly! I was so excited to get going I kind of forgot everything I know about quilting and didn't even baste this little practice sandwich until after I was done!!! LOL Dave - oh heavens - I would have tracked you down!!!! Believe me I think I knew where this machine was every second of its travel here. I am just so happy - it's definitely like a dream! Thank you! Congratulations and it looks like you bonded quickly! I have to ask, it looks like you have paper on the bed of your machine - are you using that to draw the designs and quilt through it?
