I'm getting my new Millie in 4 days and I can't wait to try out EVERYTHING she can do... but all the gadgets and gizmos are pricey and I understand many quilters buy tools that the end up not liking, or don't need once they move on to computerized quilting. Anyone have Hartley Microdrive handles for a millennium that you aren't using and would like to sell? Any old paper pantos lying around that you don't need anymore? Sell them to me, please! Your trash could become my treasure... Rebecca Grace www.CheekyCognoscenti.blogspot.com

I'm the happy 2nd owner of a set of Hartley Micro Drive Handles and need a little info. I don't want to install it too high or two low on the shaft of my Freedom. (No other way to say it.) I'd rather not wait until APQS opens on Monday, 'cause my 925 frowns on personal calls. For any of you, who have Hartley Microdrive Handles, on your Millenium or Freedom, please private message me if you have installation instructions. When I received another Hartley product, there were plenty of instructions, so I know that they're always careful to make installation a smooth process. I've already received many opinions, tips and tricks, and yet I'm really only looking for the instructions that were provided by the manufacturer or APQS.

I purchased this 14' Millennium new in 2006. It has a hydraulic table lift, base expander for thread cutter, large base expander w/guides, microdrive, Hartley fence metal table, Hartley flywheel cover, stitch regulator, automatic needle positioner, single stitch button, laser light, power fabric advance w/foot pedal and built-in bobbin winder. I also have all the original instructions that came with the machine. I have not used this machine very much, and I believe I have not done more than 20 quilts on it. I purchased 100 bobbins with the machine and they will be included, as well as the several sets of zipper leaders, and any needles I have on hand. I will also include a pattern grid and several pantographs I purchased to use with this machine. I love the machine, but am now helping to raise my two young granddaughters as well as running my farm, so cannot find the time to use it. With extra people in the house, I could use the space. The machine is currently sitting on a custom base with castors in a room with large French doors and could be moved into a moving van, trailer or truck without dismantling of the table. This would only require removing the machine head and minor parts for easy moving. I am asking $10,000 for all, but am willing to listen to all offers. My email is monafilipponi@yahoo.com or you can call me at 208-642-4944 and leave a voicemail. I am located in Payette, Idaho, which is about an hour away from Boise, Idaho. I notice that most people say shipping is on the buyer, but I would be willing to deliver this machine to any buyer who is within a days drive of here. Thank you.
