  1. I searched online and found photovisi.com. This company allows you to create large photo collages for free. They have many design options to choose from. I chose "The Big Square Grid" layout. I saved screenshots of quilt blocks from EQ7 onto my desktop so that I would have something to play with. I uploaded the files to Photovisi. I was able to click and drag the images but I couldn't rotate them. (There is a circle with arrows above the selected image. I clicked on the circle, but it didn't let me rotate the image.) I haven't tried using this on my tablet yet. I attached a screenshot for your consideration. Jill
  2. It is sometimes challenging to find a satisfying arrangement of scrappy blocks for a quilt. I put them on my design wall and then move them around. Inevitably, I end up with too much of a particular color or print in one section or another. I hope to find an app that will allow me to upload pictures of each block and then drag them onto a grid and rearrange them on my computer or tablet. Does such a thing exist? Thank you, Jill

  4. Hi Nigel, Thank you for the helpful information. Jill
  5. I am a new owner of a Lenni, and I need advice for three issues that I have encountered while quilting a queen size quilt. 1. The brake on the take up roller isn't tight enough when the weight of the nearly completed quilt is rolled on it. I have engaged the brake as tightly as I can, but it still releases. How do I rectify this? 2. I have occasional issues with the needle down button. It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes the needle goes down, raises and then automatically goes down a second time. I've noticed this when I am at the end of a row and I want to pull up the bobbin thread so that I can cut both threads. For example, my stitching ends in the needle down mode, so I press the button to raise the needle. Then I move the machine to lengthen the needle thread. Then I re-position the machine in the original location and I press the needle down button again. It goes down, raises, and goes down again. I then have to repeat the process of moving the machine to lengthen the needle thread and it usually works fine the second time. Is this a problem with my technique or with the machine? 3. I am almost at the end of quilting a queen size quilt. There is excess fullness in the quilt top toward the end of the quilt. What can I do to prevent this from occurring with my next large project? My quilt appeared to feed evenly throughout the process because the seams in the quilt remained parallel as I completed the rows and advanced the quilt. I attached pictures for clarification. I am scheduled to attend my new owner's lesson later this month. Thank you, Jill
  6. Thanks Connie. I have already searched their website. I'm sure that it wasn't Hobb's Heirloom or Warm and Natural, but I don't remember the brand name. I just remember that the paper that was included in the roll was printed with bold black print.
  7. Thanks Connie for posting the picture of that batting holder. That's a great idea!
  8. Hi Everyone,I purchased some cotton batting by the yard from JoAnn's a few weeks ago. I liked it because it was light weight and thin, but not too thin. Now I can't find it at my local store or on their website. Unfortunately, I didn't save the paper that was included within the roll, and I don't remember the name of it or the manufacturer. I hope that you will be able to help me find it. I seem to recall that the paper was white with black lettering, and it said something about it being a vintage type of batting. I think that an old date was part of the name. It is 100% cotton, and it was slightly less expensive than the other batting sold by the yard at their store.Does this sound familiar to anyone?Thank you!Jill
  9. Here is a link to view the product: https://www.qualitysewing.com/dream-world-sew-steady-ruler-base-ruler-table-for-long-arms.html I'm curious to know if any of you have purchased this ruler base for your longarm machine. It is much less expensive than the Hartley Base Extender. Sew Steady makes quality products, so I'm tempted to order one. Jill
  10. LOL! I don't mind the pins. I cut up a pair of flip flops into small chunks, and I stick the pins into those pieces instead of using safety pins. I'm so excited about getting Lenni! George is a fantastic machine, but I don't plan to keep him. I listed him for sale on the forum. Thank you again for your advice. Jill
  11. Thank you Brenni, Jim and Sharon for your helpful advice. Lenni with the Bliss system and M bobbin on a 10 foot frame is what I decided to get. I placed the order today. Jill
  12. 2014 Gently used George with table in Baton Rouge, LA. Asking $4200. It works great. I’m selling it because I ordered a Lenni. The price includes the closed toe Flip Flop foot, the Peek a Boo Foot ($85), the original style open toe ruler foot, and also the newer style ¼” Saddle Shoe ruler foot ($200), an extra Style L bobbin case, 12 aluminum bobbins, a bobbin winder, extra needles, extra lights attached to the throat, and the instruction manual. I have the original box for George, and I will box the table if you want it shipped to you. The buyer is responsible for shipping costs.
  13. Thanks Jim for the added info. I have looked at all of my options for where to put it in my house, and a 10 foot frame is the one that I should get. A 12 foot frame is simply too big for my house, and it suits my quilting needs. I'm even considering the 8 foot frame since most of my quilts are 60 x 72 I've read that the M bobbin causes more tension problems than the L, but you have had the opposite experience with it. I use Bottom Line thread in the bobbin, so does that affect which bobbin I should get? I like the idea of fewer bobbin changes. Brenni, I'm curious to know how the 2019 model increased the quilting field as compared to earlier models. What is the maximum depth that you are able to quilt? Jill
