  1. Hi - I have 2007 Millie with Compuquilter/quilter I purchased privately a few years ago. Could anyone explain why there is 2 CompuQuilter operating set ups on the machine (see picture) one appears to be within the machine itself and the other is the box sitting on top of the body of the machine which is what currently operates the CompuQuilter. There is an electrical cord on side of machine with a white connection (see pic) which is not connected to anything - this cord appears to have 2 burn marks on it. I would like to have this cord cut closer to the machine to cut down on the amount of cords on machine. I would also like to know why it has this setup. I have contacted APQS however the person I spoke with did not appear to know. It was purchased new like this according to the lady I purchased machine from and who I trust. I am in Aust Thank you
  2. Hi - I am still using and enjoying my CompuQuilter on my Millie and cannot afford a new computer system - however - the computer is old and I would say on its last legs. A new computerised system in Australia would be around AU $15,000 at the current conversion rate which is not possible for us, even though it would be wonderful. My system runs on Windows 95 XP - do have some original discs. I do not think it would be possible but thought would ask Thank you
  3. Hello - seeking advice on two issues 1 considering the idea of attaching heavy duty lockable casters on my frame - would appreciate hearing others views on this. We are downsizing our frame due to lack of space and thought this may help if we can roll the frame back against a wall - 2 have been reading how some oil their thread - others thoughts on this would be great. I would be concerned it would get on the quilt fabrics. Thank you
  4. Hello…..the canvas length on 8’ frame is 84” - would I therefore be able to do a quilt top up to that size? I need to downsize my large frame due to lack of space. Thank you
  5. I currently have 14’ table with bliss system, due to room we are considering either purchasing a 8’ table or, having our existing one professionally cut down. The canvas size of 8’ frame is 84” - does this mean I could quilt a top up to 84”? I understand this will limit the size of quilts I can quilt, however the other alternative is to sell Millie and I don’t want to do that - just wondering about others experience with 8’ table. Thank you
  6. Marie: Thanks, that has helped. I like the idea of a mark every 12inches or so. Keeps it straight and will indicate if there is a problem looming....

  7. This often happens to me so I’m pleased I’m not alone. Mine is the right side when facing machine......I have tried numerous methods. Currently, if quilt does not have a straight line of horizontal seams, I mark my tops every 12” or so on each side before I load quilt, then use horizontal channel lock every time I roll to check the marks are in line. I also use the horizontal channel lock to run along the horizontal seam lines as I roll quilt. This has helped ......
  8. I have my Millie on the 14’ frame and considering having it reduced in length, due to lack of space. I have had 8’ leaders on the frame for some time and have found all the quilts I have completed have fitted. The largest quilt I have needed to do was around 86”. Before I finally decide I would appreciate others view on this idea, and would love to hear from anyone who has a 10’ frame. Thank you in advance. Marie (Tasmania, Australia)
