  1. I would contact the customer and discuss the issue with them. Once it is off the frame you might be able to "brush" the minkee backing and pull the pokies back through  or when the quilt relaxes the minkee becomes unnoticible but it is equally possible that there would be no change. 

  2. Welcome back to quilting Maribeth. In regards to the robotics systems you really need to try them out if at all possible as they work differently.  IQ is a Linux (sp?) based system that is motor driven. Quilt Path is a Windows based system that is belt driven. Decide what features are important to you in a robotics system then compare the two systems to see how they stack up. 

  3. What are others in your area charging for simple pantos?  Less than your new prices?  I would pick out five or six computerized pantos that are fairly simple, no backtracking, low density, and stitches quickly, make a small sample.....plain muslin would work......and stitch out a row or two of each of your choices. Bind it and take to your next show and tell with the pricing for those choices. 

  4. I have not yet tried to use a double batting on my longarm but I think the difference between a domestic walking foot and the longarm hopping foot would make for a better outcome on the longarm.  There is no "give" in the needle bar of the domestic walking foot when you lower the presser foot so it would push the double layers of batting.  With the longarm the foot hops and if it still pushed the layers you can change the height of the needle bar......or at least you can on the Millie's. Perhaps someone who has quilted with double battings will chime it on this issue.
