Matt Sparrow Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I cracked under the pressure and put down a deposit on Bliss I can't wait to share APQS's innovative prowess with Canada! This is a really funny situation. I am buying it so I have it to show potential buyers. I absolutely LOVE the way my Millie glides across the table. From the very first day, it's been awesome. I need to know how they could possibly make it better. Innovation is Great! I can't wait to get my hands on Bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Sparrow Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I can't stand not having 'the best'. That is why I bought APQS after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjtinkle Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Matt, did you get to try the Bliss out? If you love the way your Milly glides now, you might not like the Bliss!

Sharon M Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Matt, that's great! and I agree, my Millie is so smooth, I can't imagine how it could be better..... don't think I could justify purchasing the Bliss.... but I sure would love to see it! .....hmmmm..... 10 hr drive to Edmonton...... .....crappy, my holidays are all booked up..... sigh..... maybe next year! Glad to know there is going to be one in Canada! Be sure to tell us all about it..... we'll be waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Way to go Matt! I'm on the list too. We're going to have a "Blissful Day" here when mine arrives. We'll have an Open Day so that anyone who wants to take a test drive can book half an hour and play to their hearts content.

DebFigved Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm on the list too. I tried to pursade APQS so get it to me sooner than June for my Roadshow in May...was just wishful though....this is going to help everyone who says the Millie is too heavy.....it becomes so easy to glide on the new rails.

Linda G. Craig Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Great news, Matt. I'll be waiting to hear how you like it once you get it home and everything put back together. Hope you can post some pics. Read your column again in Quilter's Home, I see you are going to be a regular. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnieW Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I test drove Bliss both at Chicago a week ago and then again Thursday in Paducah...and ordered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PamelaA Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm on the list too. June is such a long time to wait when you are as impatient as I am. However I do not look forward to taking JJ apart and putting her back together. Does anyone have any idea what to do with the current rails?

DawnCavanaugh Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Pamela, You won't have much difficulty with JJ--I'll write the directions very clearly:) To save customers shipping costs, we aren't asking for you to ship the old rails and/or trusses back to APQS. You can contact a local recycler or scrap yard...they should offer you some good $$$ for the aluminum rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Dawn Do you think someone could tell us the weight of two 12ft rails so that we can phone ahead to see what we'll get from different scrap dealers. Also, the weight of the carriage because we won't be needing that either, will we? Thanks Sue in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloria Byers Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I find it amazing that some of your Millie Machines run like silk and others including mine is like pushing a 20# cememt block around. the company has been wonderful at trying to figure out what the problem is but..... alas.......though some improvement has been made we are not there yet. we will keep tweaking until we get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebFigved Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I took a couple pictures of the Rail and wheel at Rosemont. Unfortunately, they are a little fuzzy. They do show the change for those who have been asking to see what the rail looks like. The wheels are a little shallower and have ball bearings. I cannot wait to get mine. I don't know how to post two pics at same time, so I'll make two posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmiequilts Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I drove the Millie in Providence with Bliss and it was like it was gliding on air, very light and smooth. Gotta quilt many quilts to buy Bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
