Wow, Corey, that is beautiful!! Great job!

Thanks, Barb. I did see the instructions, I just didn't expect "interchangeable" feet to require an adjustment of that magnitude.

Tried my new "true 1/4" ruler foot" today, and I was surprised at how high the bottom of the foot is. When I compared it to my original foot, it is 1/8" shorter! This definitely explains why my rulers can slide underneath the "ruler" foot when the needle is up. Has anyone else had the same issue? TIA

Jeff, congratulations on selling your machine! If you edit your original post to include SOLD at the beginning of the title, you will eliminate a lot of future inquiries.

Lisa, it would help potential buyers if you include the year George was built and your location in your ad. Also, most buyers would like to know your reason for selling, and any maintenance you had done. Good luck!

So sorry for your loss.

Pamela, I don't have IQ, so I can't make suggestions on that front. However, "puff" batting sounds like it is a high loft batting, and on such a long quilt, may give you space issues as you get close to the end. I would suggest a lower loft product. I am working on a California king quilt right now on Emmeline, my 2011 Freedom with a 12' frame, using QD wool batting. I finished row 7 today, with only row 8 and the bottom border to complete. Top border is 2.5", each row is 12", and the bottom border is 8". I have not lost a lot of quilting space as I have progressed. All free-hand in the body of the quilt, and ruler work on the borders. Let us know how you work this out, please!

Congratulations on selling your George! You can edit the title on your original post to put "SOLD" first, so you won't keep getting inquiries. Enjoy your new machine!

Joan, sorry no one has posted an answer on this yet. I suggest calling APQS service. I'm sure they can solve this issue.

Maribeth, I remember it, but have never used it in a project.

Thanks for posting the solution, Meg!

Cathy, thanks for the information about Quilternatives. I got my last roll of QD wool from Kingsmen, as that was the best price I found at the time, but Quilternatives's price is a LOT cheaper! Just ordered a new roll, since my last one is gone. Quilternatives beat both Kingsmen and Batt-mart. Love the Forum members!

I don't have QP, but I know there is a QP Facebook group that may be able to help you. Good luck!

I'm still very happy with my Emmeline, so good luck to all of you!

Good job, Zeke! Your perseverance paid off.
