  1. We are considering upgrading to a larger throat machine and will be putting our Freedom up for sale.  This was purchased direct from the DesMoines showroom.  It is a white Freedom, L bobbin with Quilt Glide on a 12 foot black table with fabric advance, Hartley base expander, hydraulic lift and BLISS.  We have installed the latest version encoders so everything is totally current. The table has also had zippers and leader grips installed. It can be upgraded to an M bobbin if a new owner wants to.  It is an excellent machine with no issues.  Location is just outside of Springfield Illinois. We are asking $20,900 including the Intelliquilter or reasonable offer.

  2. I'm using So Fine 50 so it won't dominate the quilt. The batting is Hobbs 80/20 heirloom in black as the sampler is mostly black, grey, tweed and pinstripe blocks.  The backing is black with charcoal vines and flowers. I wanted to keep it on the masculine side of things even though it does have some Crazy Quilt stitching in purple.  The binding will be a matching purple to tie it all together.  Hope this helps.  JIM

  3. I'm doing a suit sampler from the late 1800s right now.  It's been stored in a trunk for decades.  My Mom was so happy when we got our Freedom that she gave it to me just to see it finished and on display.  Very few of the family have ever seen it or even know it exists.  I just picked a Victorian style backing in black and charcoal and am going to do a modified Fleur-de-lis pattern that would look period correct. Can't wait to finish it.
