shelleywa Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Western Australia that is! Just wanted to introduce myself - my name is Shelley and although I've been reading this forum for ages, I've only just been able to register - had some problems with that but it's all resolved now. I feel I already know you all! I've been running a longarm quilting business in WA for three years now, and I am very excited because I have just upgraded my old machine to an APQS Millennium! I was able to see a local quilter's APQS over here plus 3 other different makes, so I was able to do a good comparison between them. The Millennium had what I needed, so that was it! Now I need to sort out my sewing room, take down the existing machine (and sell it!) before my new one arrives. Thanks to Sue Morris in Australia who was so helpful to me, and answered many questions. I'm sure I'll have a few questions when my machine arrives and I'm getting used to it. Catch you all again soon, Shelley Heritage Country Quilting Kelmscott WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelleywa Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thankyou Tracey. Once I learn how to post pictures, I will send a couple of quilts I've done. Also, I think I must have clicked the wrong button - it should have shown a smiley face, I'm really very happy to be getting a Millennium!!
