dominique Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have had my Mellenium for 3-4 years now and I was at a girl friends house this weekend for a retreat and she let me use her HQ16. OMG! it was like driving a ford escort after years of driving a porche 944. I sang the praises to my husband for going the extra mile on the money end. My quilting bekons to me every day and I would not enjoy it at all if i had to go to that machine. So keep up the great work and I just love my new bliss rails, they were well worth the money too.

witha'K'quilting Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Welcome. I whole heartedly agree. I own 2 apqs machines...and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmland Quilter Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I never even tried any other before getting Matilda the Millie. Just did the research online and picked the best. Nice to know we made a good decision 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiltFaerie Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 You know, I was just thinking about this yesterday when I was working on a customer quilt. I just love my Millie. I was quilting with Metro thread in both the bobbin and the top. It was making just a lovely stitch. I did buy the Superior Thread top thread tension gauge and when I tested with So Fine thread, I was dead on where their guide said I should be and this was pre-thread gauge helper. How can you not love these machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgene Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Dominique, I had the same experience when I went to training and used the class machines. It felt so foreign and "tinny" and cheap, compared to what we have. My quilting looked awful. The stitches were not what I was used to. And I'm sure the Bliss will only make everything better.

Teresa Couch Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I used a Pfaff Grandquilter on a frame for 3 years, enough to know that I LOVED quilting and wanted a long arm. Lightning struck, so.... since I am a great ratioalizer, God wanted me to have a long arm. So straight to the Millie for me -- She's FANTASTIC.

Neher-in-law5 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Teresa, sorry about the lightning, but love your thought process. Made me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I upgraded from probably the cheapest oldest stretched midarm to my Milli and I love her all the more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy-ON Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for my Millie!! I also had never seen or touched a longarm until mine was delivered. My Dad did the research and made the decision for me based on his research. He called one day and said can you be ready for delivery in 3 weeks......oh was I excited!

grannyju Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 To add to the previous comments there's great customer service, a great forum, and "Made in the USA"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I love my "Gator", after wasting a lot of money on lesser machines (i.e. MegaQuilter, Janome, PC quilter), I finally got smart and got a Millie and then an IQ. To think I could have saved a lot of money, if I would have bought the APQS machine first. Should I make an ad for my ah ha moment!!!:cool::cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
