  1. I may be the odd one but I like both.  I have been on this forum since 2010 and have learned SO much from everyone here.  I know I'm a better quilter because of this forum.  The support is awesome.  Although I have had a hard time with this format since it changed and have really not used it as much as I use to.  Probably more my lack of tech ability than anything else.  The "I Love APQS" FB page is the only quilting group I'm a part of on FB.  I've gotten help and shard pictures there.  I've learned if I just leave it on that page, the posts there are the only thing I see.   

  2. I need advice.  I got my Lenni in 2010, at that time I didn't know anything about having a longarm.  I really stretched the canvases, really pushed my skills at keeping things square. I went to floating my tops just so I didn't have to use the horribly stretched canvas (thank god for all the you tube videos). I am replacing them today (they got stained in the move) and want advice on what everyone does to keep them in great shape.  TIA

  3. I too have a Lenni.  I have done hobbs 80/20 on the bottom with wool on top.  The combination has worked great for me (more than once).  I did not need to raise my hopping foot.  However if it seems you are pushing the quilt top and not just stitching it then maybe you'll need to raise it a hair.  This is very easy to do. I just put the wool on top of the 80/20 and off I went, straightened all layers as I rolled along.  I like the definition wool batting gives the quilting.
