ISO Circle Lord System for APQS Ultimate 1
Plumpurple replied to Crystal2004's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
IF, what you need is the apparatus that screws to the machine and supports the stylus I have an extra one. I do not have the little metal bracket that secures appratus to the machine, but you should be able to find another bracket that will work. You can have it for the price of a small flat rate box. PM me if you are interested. Sharon -
Hi, I have one I would sell. It's for an APQS without thread cutter. I'd sell it for $50.00 plus whatever the shopping costs would be. Sharon

Tension Problems
Plumpurple replied to Audrey Bergeron's topic in Ask The Expert - Stitching & Pantographs
Audrey, sometimes the top thread doesn't feed smoothly off the cone or spool. The thread when feeding off the spool gets embedded and then gets trapped/caught so it won't unwind evenly so therefor your top thread is pulled too tight and breaks. Try a different top thread, additionally the same scenario can happen with the bobbin thread. Sharon -

SOLD - 2008 Lenni For Sale
Plumpurple replied to Brenni's topic in Lenni and Lucey Quilting Machines
I'm going to jump in here, Jill you won't be sorry if you go with the 12 ft table, I promise. After spending the $$$ for a long arm it's hard to justify sending out the larger occasional quilt you MIGHT want to do. If I had a tight space I would consider getting casters so I easily move my LA to accommodate available space. When is use you could pull it out and when not in use you could push it back against the wall out of the way. Anyway, that's my opinion--and I love my Lenni! Sharon -

Hi, if the basic system you are looking at is for a Lenni then it will work fine. I bought a used CL basic off eBay that was for a HQ 16 and it works perfectly. If you want measurements/pictures of my system to compare I can do that. Good Luck I love my CL. Sharon

Plumpurple started following Ruler Mate for sale
-
I have a Ruler Mate, without thread cutter, for sale. $65.00, plus shipping. Or save shipping as I am in the KC area and would be willing to meet at the KC Quilt Festival in Overland Park, in June, or ?? I bought it for my Lenni, but it is more suited for machines with a larger throat as on my Lenni the sewing field was too small with the Ruler Mate attached. Won't use and needs to go, Sharon

Top thread breaking
Plumpurple replied to Battynurse's topic in Thread, Bobbin, Needle Troubleshooting
Hi, what size needle- I've found some fabric/batting combinations need a 4.5 needle. You might try a larger needle. Good luck and let us know when you find what works, I come here often to troubleshoot. Sharon -
New here and used Lenni Longarm
Plumpurple replied to nanato6's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Hi, IMO it would depend on how you plan to use it, your budget, how much the machine cost, and what extras will come with it. I bought a used 2011 Lenni a little over two years ago, have done some 50+ quilts with no problems (after the first 7-8 months learning curve) and I am absolutely delighted with it. But I don't have a business, don't ever plan on adding a computer, and use Circle Lord boards almost exclusively. The older Lenni's have the vertical wheels and the tables aren't bliss compatible so I feel my circles aren't too great---but this may be an excuse for lack of skill. Also, if -
Hi, I'm no expert---not by a long shot, but I might check the batting and whether the scrim is on the bottom of the quilt sandwich--this has caused me some problems in the past. Other than that you have already gone thru my check list when I have problems. But, please let us know what solution you find as I will add that to my list of things to check in the future. Sharon

What is best sized table for my room?
Plumpurple replied to nursecec's topic in Gone Quilting...Chat About Anything
Hi, My opinion/experience would be to buy a 12 ft table and then maybe angle it a little bit to fit in the room better. I haven't seen the room setup as in doors or closets, but I'll bet you could accommodate a 12 foot table. I used to have a different quilting machine on a 10 ft table and found that to be limiting. I know 10 ft is 120 inches but you can't quilt the full 120 inches and where is the machine when loading the quilt except "in the way". Sooo if you were asking me I would say get the 12 foot. Sharon
