Matt Sparrow Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Sorry I put my bump on all those posts but If I were on the wrong end of that post, I would not want my name drug through the mud like that.

Susanne.Hughes Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 "Always good to have a "Man" around", good on you for the bumps. I am sure that your wife can find various ways to fill your day if you become too unbearable whilst waiting. I am sure with all those children, she would have had lots of practice redirecting ineffective uses of too much energy or lack of patience!!! Have fun when he/she does arrive!!

smorris Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi kathy I hope this will post correctly, its information about Quilt Glide. sue in australia Micro-stippling just got easier! Introducing “Quilt Glide”— an exciting new feature that enhances your ability to create stunning detail in your quilts! For years longarm quilters have been trying to make detail quilting easier to do without sacrificing the benefits of stitch regulation. APQS has found a way! The Quilt Glide gives you the slick, fluid motion you like when stitching in manual mode, but at the same time keeps the stitch regulator engaged to give you consistent stitches, even when moving slowly for detail quilting. The Quilt Glide feature combines manual sewing mode and stitch regulation mode together to give you accuracy and consistency without that “jerky” feeling that can happen when trying to do detail quilting in regulator mode alone. In normal stitch-regulated mode, your APQS quilting machine stops sewing the second you stop moving the machine. This great feature gives you time to “think ahead” as you create designs, and even allows you to move your feet without losing your place as you quilt. For designs that involve frequent stops and direction changes like detail stitching, however, quilters want to feel no hesitation as they make those quick, tiny motions. That’s where the new Quilt Glide comes in! When engaged, the Quilt Glide keeps the needle moving up and down in stitch regulation mode, even when you stop moving the quilting machine. Since the needle continues to stitch when the Quilt Glide is on, you’ll feel like you’re gliding through your design like smooth pen strokes. The Quilt Glide can be adjusted to suit every quilting style—whether you want the needle to cycle frequently when changing directions or to move very slowly. Or, you can turn off the Quilt Glide completely and return to normal stitch regulation mode with the flip of a switch. Introduced on January 1, 2009, the Quilt Glide is available on new Millennium and Freedom SR models for only $1250! The Quilt Glide can also be retrofit to any 2008 Millennium model (contact APQS for more information). Add the amazing Quilt Glide feature to your new Millennium or Freedom SR for only $1250! For more information, contact your local APQS representative or call APQS at 800-426-7233. You can also visit us on the web at: www.apqs.com.
