  2. Every year I tell myself that I need to finish three UFO (Unfinished Projects (don't know where the "0" fits in)). This year I've set the goal at 3 completely finished projects for the year and my stretch goal is 6 fully completed projects for the year. I've also committed to not starting any new projects until I completely finish at lease 3 UFOs. Well, my friends, it's only February 21, 2024, and I've already completely finished 3 UFOs. *insert fireworks here* Okay, to be honest, two of the UFOs just needed binding, but they had been sitting around unfinished for a very looooooong time. Now they are done. The other UFO I finished was a block swap quilt top with 25 different 12" blocks. The top has been finished for several years, but I was never sure how to quilt it. Well, I just put in on the frame and custom quilt each block, simple sashing and feather borders, roll over binding, and voila, it's done! I'm so proud that I actually finished this one. It has been intimidating me from the corner for far too long. ; ) Now I'm working on two more UFOs. #4 is a flannel pinwheel square in square baby quilt. I need to make 8 more blocks (maybe more depending on how big the finished quilt will be). Then quilt and bind. #5 is 30 embroidered inspirational blocks (27 were already done). I've already embroidered one, just need to embroider two more blocks and then add sashing, borders, quilt and bind. #6 ???? ooooh there are sooooo many to choose from, but now that I'm on a roll, I'm really excited to get these old projects finished. I started making an inventory of unfinished projects and it is a little daunting -- over 25 (mayby close to 40 or 50 quilt tops, but some of those were my mom's that I brought home with me after she passed), a dozen totes and other bags, half a dozen table runners and coordinating placemats, and a few miscellaneous projects. I think I'll do at least two quilts for every three UFOs that I work on. Does anyone else out there have UFOs? What is your strategy for getting them done?

  3. Tammie: Have you considered simply having your table cut down? I think it's doable, and having it cut down may be easier than replacing it. good luck. Jim

  4. Tammy: Used APQS machines are great. Industrial quality, great factory support. You can hardly go wrong buying a used APQS machine. Start looking in the used machines for sale forum here. Good luck. Jim

    10 ft table

    I have a 2008 Millie. My leaders measure 103.5 inches. The size of table was dictated by the size of my sewing room. I would have bought a twelve foot table if I had the room. In reality the ten foot has served me well and I haven't needed a larger frame. I don't have a quilt business and haven't needed to quilt any king sized quilts.

  7. I just jumped on apqs fb and did a search. I found out that the top of the baseplate has recessed screw holes. Solves my problem!
