ChaneyRanch 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 I have been searching, reading, calling, researching, etc., trying to find the best buy for a used longarm. I started out wanting to put my Juki 2010 on a frame, but the more I read the more I realized those nine inches just won't work. I then considered a Handiquilter or a Bailey, but I really want an APQS or an Innova, and I am leaving heavily toward an APQS. I understand the difference in an Ultimate I and II, but can someone explain the features of a Discovery for me? Is the Discovery comparable to the Ultimate II, and is the Lenni comparable to the Discovery? It seems the more I read, the more confused I become! Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

o2b Quilting 142 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 The Ultimate II and the Discovery are now the Lenni. You have done your homework well. All three have a 20" throat. Lenni has the stitch regulator and is the current version.

cmkeindl1 109 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 Have you tried any of the machines? Is there a dealer near you or a quilt show? I personally started with a stretch-arm and Grace frame, up-graded a couple times and have LOVED the APQS machines, although alot of people love the Innova?! you've got to try them. As for size, yes I upgraded (which means sold my machine to someone nearby and bought a bigger one with more features -some used), to bigger and better and finally found the 14' frame was too big for me and my space, but once I tried a regulated stitch I was hooked! So now I have a Millennium (probably don't use all the 26" of space?) and a 12 ft. table. I loved each of my machines (all 5 of them) but loved the newer ones too?! Good luck in your search!
