quiltermidwife Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Do any Administrators or Super Administrators know how long APQS anticipate it will take them to fulfil all the backorders? I know, I know........being impatient and trying to work out how long it's likely to be before I get mine. It's going to take even longer because of it's journey across the great pond but then we will feel quite special as I think it will be the only Lenni in the UK.

RitaR Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Maybe if the new owner tells us when she/he ordered the first one, it would give us an idea.., I was told first, Late Oct. then in Nov.. Who is that very lucky new owner???? Knowing roughly would help when we have things to get rid of in our quilting rooms. RitaRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltermidwife Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well I ordered mine towards the end of August and was told to expect delivery \'approx October\' Here\'s hoping!! Chris ps Did you re-instate your order in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbishwit Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I know that "QuiltNutOne" purchased her Lennie on 6/1/07 because she posted it when she did. Perhaps she was the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiKaisand Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Our goal in getting up to speed on all Lenni orders is December. The first 16 machines are expected to go out in the next 3-4 weeks. I have hopefully talked to everyone on the list. In another week or so, I should be able to better update people beyond that. If you ever have any questions about your machine, please e-mail me at heidi@apqs.com and I will find out where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Chris, yes I did. have been madly selling old presser feet, embroidery programs, templates, things I don\'t use, trying to get enough to easily pay shipping.. by the time it\'s shipped.. Won\'t wait longer.. even though it would be easier to handle the shipping then.. this old thing has tried me beyond any patience I can find, even though it\'s stitching beautifully now.. for now.. after what is nearly a total rebuild.

John Mitchell Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I just came back from working a Road Show in Wichita with Mark Caraher and Dawn Cavanaugh and want you to know this was ONLY my second time (even as an APQS rep) to have the opportunity to \'play\' with the Lenni. Believe me it is a GREAT little machine. Most especially for someone with a more limited space or budget, OR for someone who ONLY wants to quilt their own tops! Lenni is a very light/smooth running machine! Now IF we can only find space to add another machine to our small studio....JUST to have it to play with! You know, like the person who rebuilds/refurbishes cars/motorcycles/etc. JUST FOR FUN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrylanequilting Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I forgot to check! I forgot that I had been out of the studio for a few days and that my husband/partner had probably been logged onto my system! Those were my comments NOT his! He doesn\'t even quilt! He just works as the sales/service tech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiltNutOne Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Originally posted by mrsbishwit I know that "QuiltNutOne" purchased her Lennie on 6/1/07 because she posted it when she did. Perhaps she was the first one. i didn\'t get one. i couldn\'t afford to wait that long; especially when i was originally told middle of August than told the earliest would be in October. i got a Liberty in August instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osconda Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I\'ve been reading through the forum because I am interested in a Lenni. I didn\'t even consider the cost of shipping...it must be REALLY BAD if you have to get a loan to ship one of these things. I checked and UPS will ship a 150lb package from Iowa to Texas for $113.59 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltermidwife Posted December 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 ........try $500+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 From Central Iowa to center of North Carolina, for the Lenni, shipping is less than $200.. via Fed Ex Freight. RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTMD Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Ladies... The more I read about Lenni, the shipping...not to mention the add on\'s (extras) this is an expensive little baby isn\'t it? I\'m just glad they are working out all the bugs before they ship \'em. I think that speaks well for the company. Would LOVE to see some pix of the new improved table... cant visualize right now how it folds? But I would probably move it (has anyone added wheels w/stoppers to their frames? got ideas/ssuggestions?) rather then take it apart (mine will someday share a guest bedrroom that will be my LA room). I\'m waiting to see Lenni at MXQ in April. Gonna look at them all (Nolting, Gammill) & make up my mind there. But I love reading all your comments ...I learn so much. Hope those of you who\'ve gotten your Lenni\'s will post & tell all...please! Be well & happy holidays...gotta go finish some quilt gifts (never enough time!) Lynn :cool: Tampa, Fl.

Myrna Ficken Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Lynn. You can go to the hardware store and buy piano casters. They are three wheeled triangles and you can put one under each leg and move your Lenni whenevery you want. Moves easily and they are inexpensive. I use them on my Millie when I get the notion that I what her in a different spot. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Lynn, will try to remember to take picts of the unit as we set it up, so you can see how it is made and goes together.. First I have to make sure the camera batteries are well charged.. since my machine is due in today.. I\'ll start posting in my webshots.. as we take a few.. like 6 or so..
