Sandra Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I personally feel that we are being "teased" regarding the Quilt Glide. Can we please have some more information? It sounds exciting!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswings Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have no idea what it is but I ordered it on my new Millie that's coming. Sounded interesting to me. All I know is it is suppossed to make the machine glide very smoothly. Oh, and it costs $1250. Hope it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Quilt Glide is going to be a new feature on 2009 Millenniums (the price of new Millennium will have to go up I would imagine). Quilt Glide can be retro- fitted to 2008 models. It came about from comments from some customers that they felt that when they were doing small designs with the stitch regulator on the machine was "jerky" or "hesitated" when changing direction. Mike Moore has designed a device that smoothes out the feel of the machine - Quilt Glide. You have the choice to turn it on or off. I wish I'd taken a photo of it but, I think its a flick switch rather than a button on the front panel of the machine, easily accessible when doing intricate work. It keeps the stitches even yet feels like the machine is coasting. When you stop moving the machine the needle continues to cycle until you flick the switch, (thats quick and easy to do). I have mine on order and believe its easy to retrofit. I think that when I'm doing pantos I'll have it turned off, but I'll probably turn it on for all my custom work - especially the intricate quilting. Hope thats the info you need.

meg_marsh Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I was talking to Christy at APQS yesterday and she indicated that it will especially helpful for custom and show quilts - all the intricate work that is generally done on these quilts.

John Mitchell Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 At this time to install Quilt Glide on the 2008 Millennium it will need to be returned to the factory. It can not be installed on older machines. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Am bringing this up again - has anyone had this installed and used it yet - just curious..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnQuilts Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have it on my Millie. I like it. I can do small fills and small stippling with the stitch regulator on, and it's very smooth, instead of jerky the way it is using the stitch regulator on small stuff. I'm very glad I have it.
