2012 APQS Millennium Longarm Quilting Machine with Quilt Path Computerized System and freehand tools – Selling for just $18,000 – Would cost you $34,075 if new)
Machine is like new, fewer than 100 quilts stitched on this machine. Some of the extras have never been used. Machine has never needed service and works great. Reason for selling: Owner is a professional Quilt Pattern Designer and thought she’d like to quilt some of her designs, but her designing business takes up the bulk of her time, so she has quilted only a few.
If you buy this treasure of a machine, you’ll have EVERYTHING you need to get started and then some, whether you want to try freehand quilting or computerized quilting. And I’ll give you a free training class ($250 value) in my home studio in Gloucester, VA, to familiarize you with the machine (I own a similar one) and to help you operate a business from your home.
Machine resides with the owner in Waldorf, MD. I am an APQS representative and am helping the owner sell her machine.
Contact: Georgene Huggett, Gloucester, VA, Email: Georgene@GeorgeneQuilts.com (757) 848-6540
Owner will disassemble and package the machine ready for your pickup. No shipping.
The owner originally bought the machine without the computer, but decided to add it 5 months later, which is why you’re getting the benefit of both hand guided tools and the computer. You have a choice.
All blue prices in parentheses indicate price if you were to buy new ($ if new).

Carmen, I think you will get a personal message within Facebook, similar to those we get on this forum. It will say that you are accepted. You'll know you have a message when you see a little red number located by the message icon at the top of your Facebook page. Just click on that number or icon to view the message.

I've been running way off the bottom too and have been seeking solutions to that on the FAcebook QP Users Group. Are you a member.

OK, did it. Went to Panto design, clicked Help, then Screen Scaling, then Reset.
I had already cut a piece of paper 3" square, put it on the screen and dragged the bottom right corner, portrayed on the screen, down to match the 3" square of paper. Then clicked OK. So I guess it's DONE.
One more thing I learned. Thanks Karen.

THANK YOU!!!!

I've never calibrated my QP. When I used the ruler to measure the width of the quilt, it gave me a 70" measurement vs. the 66" that it really was.
So I'm thinking I should calibrate it. Probably should be one of the first things we do anyway.
But what is the correct term in the QP software for calibration. I'm looking through the help file index for it, but calibration doesn't show up.
I looked on Angela Clark's site, recalling she had a lesson for doing that, but couldn't find it. Maybe because I don't know the correct term.
Thanks.

I'm willing, if there is enough interest. It would probably have to be after the Holidays though.

Thank you Darlene, I will print your instructions. I appreciate your making it available.
I recall seeing your instructions a few years ago and thought it was great how you folded the edges to make them stronger. And that's what I want to do.
Now to understand the best way to remove and add new canvas leaders.
-
I'm certainly game, if we can get enough to make it worth your while for a class or two.
-
Wouldn't that be wonderful!!!!

Sharon, thanks for the tip on the arrows. That's important and I hadn't even thought of that.
-
Angie, thank you so much.
At least now I know what I need to buy to get started, and how to get started.
This helps a LOT.

The actual canvas fabric is all I received as well.
Maybe they do have instructions and will send them once they return from the quilt show this week.
I did send an email asking if they had instructions. If I get something through email, I'll let you know.
P.S. I do recall someone from APQS telling me you could use Duct Tape to secure them to the rollers. But I think you're right in needing some helping hands to keep them straight across the rollers while you tape.

I found something, but not exactly replacing, but at least a good way to square ends of canvas and attach the zippers.
Written instructions with pictures and a video at bottom.

Is anyone aware of some good instructions on replacing canvas leaders, especially with using zippers. But any instructions will help.
I have a 2008 Millinnium with 14' table.
I browsed the index in the manual, but didn't see anything there.

Do you have the new version yet, version 4. It’s very easy in the new version. If you have version 3, you have to open the design in pattern cad to manipulate it. And then save it.
