Just Sew Simple Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I hope you all know you have put the want on me and I have it badly! I am working with Patty from Baton Rouge (a doll) and am probably driving her crazy! If I get my machine and it is not everything you all say it is I am going to just pop! You all are so positive and excited; I love it! Now, if I order this sweetie and I have questions you are all there to help me, right? I am a master at the Janome 6600 and can quilt on it all day (except it is slow and you have to baste - Yulk!) Thinking I am ordering early next week and biting my nails, Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I don't have an APQS but I've test driven a Freedom and a Millie and I have the I wants too! I've got an HQ16 which will have to do until I make some $$$$. I'm strongly leaning toward the Freedom SR, it was a dream machine. I'm sure you'll be very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Sew Simple Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 No, you are the nice lady! I was just thinking Baton Rouge! My bad! I am excited so you should love it! I have no nails! you know I can't drive down there to take classes? Right? Too far and I'd have to stay the night! I sure wish these classes were online or dvd!

DoryJM Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sylvia...if she's only 4 hours away, make the trip! I had my Millie for a couple of months and then drove 5 hours for my one-day orientation. Believe me, no matter how many dvd's/books/etc., you've gone through prior to that, nothing beats hands-on. After I did that one-day training a light bulb went off (or maybe it was just a hot flash:P) and everything became so much easier. Congratulations on your new purchase!! You'll love it!!

BethDurand Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi Sylvia, I remember that terrible feeling of anxiety, and what have I done! You've done the right thing, you'll be so thrilled with your machine as soon as it arrived. Enjoy this time, and enjoy the process. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Sew Simple Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 The hot flash thing was too good! I went through the hot flash thing and came out on the other side. The problem now is that my internal thermostat got stuck on hot. Now I have to stay cooler than I normally used to. Summers in MS are tough! I am sweating it out with this purchase! I guess I'll just have to saddle up anyway! Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsurich Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sylvia, Whatever it takes, go to the classes. Years ago they didn't have classes so when I bought my new machine, I took the classes. I learned a lot even though I had been quilting for the public for years. Plus knowing that you are "trained" does something for the confidence level.

Lisa Mullins Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sylvia.....Trust me, Patty doesn't mind questions! She is great! I know she has answered enough of my questions. Good luck with your machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
