I have a 2017 Millie. 12" frame. I loaded a wide quilt, 112" on it to quilt. Set up the design the client wanted. Set everything like normal. But this time when I go to quilt as rows, it shows the pattern out of safe zone, and cuts it off. The quilt fits on my frame, why won't Quilt path recognize the wide quilt? Can't turn it and do it sideways, as the pattern is directional.

I just found out that I have cataracts and need surgery. That may be part of the problem. I'm not seeing well. I'm wondering if I need to get a friend longarmer to finish it for me. Ugh! Anyone here in Tucson who could help?

Oh I know what she wants and I am in agreement, just can't get motivated to keep going. It's hard after a dead stop for illness.

I have a custom quilt on my Millie. She wants a specific custom look. Okay, no problem. I got the top border done, and now am stuck. Had to deal with COVID and the Flu in the house and it threw me off mightily. I can't seem to get going on this client quilt now. Help! I have to get it done!

There was an updated manual that came with the upgrade. Have you upgraded it yet?

2017 Millie. Original owner. Doing a rather dense pattern in Quiltpath. Third row I’m hearing a lot of squeaking noises during stitching. I cleaned the machine just before this quilt and oiled the bobbin. Doesn’t seem to be related to the direction the machine is going. What’s going on?

I have a 2017 Millie. My electronic bobbin thread cutter stopped responding. Neither front or back button is working. I do hear a soft sound, but not the usual one. What can I check?

There is a good tutorial on You tube on the APQS channel

Possibly. It’s in great shape and updated.

Did I ever send them. Can't remember.

Mostly wearing a mask and client too. Quilts in bags, let sit for a couple of days. Discuss what she wants and stay 6+ ft apart. If a brand new client, I will open the bag and look at the quilts first. Discuss what long arming is and what to expect. takes more time.

I'm using the version 4. Been using Quiltpath for three years. Trying to modify a pattern in pattern cad. Needed to straighten out a simple shape which was crooked. I move the original to the background, and put the straightened one on top. Go to Background, clear, and nothing happened. Waited tried again. Left it overnight and still no response. Quiltpath is frozen. Had to shut the whole thing down. Still need to modify that pattern! Ideas?

Happens with the rear buttons too

Suddenly my 2017 Millie decided to take multiple stitches when I do a single needle up and down. All is clean, I double checked. This is without Quilt Path on too. I've heard to adjust screw 8, and also to adjust other things. But nothing has changed. SO how do I fix this?

There is a small red slide close by, slide it off.

You don't need to import in the new version. Just open the pattern and Quiltpath will convert it if needed.

I agree, try both first. I narrowed my choices down that way, and finally decided against Gammilll as the head was too heavy for me to manipulate easily. I was between Innova and APQS then. APQS won me over for the ease of use, the ease of moving the head, and the warrantee.

Check your thread path on top first. Then check for lint under the bobbin arm.
-
Are you using the new version or the old version?

The $25 hour is for the making of a tee shirt quilt. The cutting, fusing, arranging and sewing together. Fabric for the back and batting are separate. I charge separately for long arming; 2-10 cents per sq inch. Overall, it's an expensive quilt for the client if she really wants me to do it all. Especially if she want me to bind it. Thats expensive by itself.
-
I typically charge $20-25 per shirt, but that includes cutting and fusing. I think that $25 hr is fine if she does the cutting and fusing, as long as you tell her what sizes and what type of fusing you prefer.

I've done this in Embrillance.
