Bonnie Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Erinn....its all set up and in a happy tight spot... all set up and been rocking and rolling all week. Just thought you would like to see it up and running. It was great to meet your family and even with the rain it went well getting home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Congrats, Bonnie. How long is your new frame? In the picture is looks like it is 1/2 mile long. Is it a 14 footer? I'm sure you are having a blast with it. Enjoy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 No Bobbi its not computerized....that is something I will never have....., but it does have a SR, that is standard issue for a Millie, and the fabric advance, way nice to have yes. Yes, very smooth and very quiet compared to what I have had, and I thought that was quiet. And of course the stitches are nice...its an APQS silly girl, they are all nice in that department. Sandra....yes it does look like a 1/2 mile long, but its only 14 foot. I will NEVER need another machine this has completed my life in quilting i'm sure. Still getting to know it, but I honestly don't think it will be long and we will be total friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm so happy for you Bonnie. Can't wait to see the pictures of the beautiful creations that you will be rolling out really fast on this one. You did such a beautiful job with your other machine and now it's going to be phenomenal. Congratulations again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie..."ONLY" 14 feet long? LOL I would like to have gotten a longer frame, but I would have needed to do some renovations...Money for a LA or money for renovations? Humm. Couldn't do both, so if course the solution was to cut'er down to 11 feet and get the LA. When I win the lottery, move to the country, have my special quilter's retreat house built, then I will buy another LA, maybe a Freedom SR with a computer on a 14 foot frame, and also keep my Liberty. What a dreamer!!!! I have to get going soon. I am meeting Kim Pope at noon. I'm looking forward to some fabric shopping and good conversation with her. And, I will get to meet her lovely Mother, too.

Boni Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Think of it as your exercise routine for the day---a few more steps, a few more calories burned. Soon you'll be rolling on the floor to take a short cut going under. . . Ask me how I know!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbigailE Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Who knew Millies were actually free exercise/weight reduction machines? What a great untold benefit of 14 foot tables! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CindyT Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Congratulations, Bonnie (and MJ)! You two will be joined at the hip (literally) before long. I remember those hip bruises before I figured out just how much "squeezing" room I had between the closet doors and my table. I can only fit around one end. The other is shoved up next to the window (of course I could open the window, shimmy out and back around the other side of the table, but that wouldn't be a pretty sight)! Here's to years of quilting enjoyment with your new quilting machine! Ready and waiting for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Beth Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 So Bonnie, do you love this machine...more than your other machine?? I know there must be a world of difference. She looks right at home, by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Originally posted by Mary Beth So Bonnie, do you love this machine...more than your other machine?? I know there must be a world of difference. She looks right at home, by the way Honestly I can't say more, but there are some things that I wouldn't like to loose...the fabric advance, the unboard SR, the wider sewing area. But the stitches are the same, the feel is much the same, so I can't say at this point that I would say love it more...but I SURE do like it..and I can see things getting done faster because I won't be chasing around the machine every four or so minutes....it now takes about 10 minutes to do a row BUT instead of 14 rows that I manually moved to I have only 10 that I step on a button so I can get done faster.:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
