connieb Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I have fallen in love with the Lenni but my husband wants to see one before I purchase it. Can anyone help me. We live in the Sacramento area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Connie, There is an APQS dealer, Brandy Rice in Fairoaks http://www.thequiltingplace.com/ and if she doesn't have a Lenni check under dealers on the APQS home page for more names. Someone will have a Lenni. If that doesn't work APQS are usually at Pacific International in October at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Happy hunting!

Virginia Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 You could check the APQS website to see if there is a dealer near you or if there is a quilt show nearby that will have APQS machines there that you can try out. Perhaps someone with a machine lives close by and you could make an appointment to see their machine in action. http://www.apqs.com/ I have an APQS Millennium and I am very happy with it!

connieb Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Brandy Rice and the people at APQS have been very helpful. Answering my questions and all my husband the engineers questions too. Brandy let me "play" with her Millie a coupld weeks ago. Great machine but for some reason I've fallen for Lenni. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Guest Linda S Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 The Lenni is a nice light-weight machine, kind of like my Liberty. I would, however, question the dealer and APQS engineers about its table. It is made to be able to fold up and store away, and it not the most stable thing there is. Perhaps they have made improvements since the machine first debuted, but that would be my main concern. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 We no longer have that table Linda. The frames now are tubes and two pieces that make up the frame one length. We thought the "break down" was a good idea, but soon came to find out that it is more hassle than its worth and so have gone to a good sturdy frame that does not break in half but still breaks apart for shipping much like our other frames.

JustSewSimple Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 My Lenni frame is solid as a rock and heave as lead. (the one Mark was talking about) I could not be happier with it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAboutQuilting Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Connie, Yep, me too! My frame must be like Sylvia's and it is great!!! And I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Lenni so I don't think you can go wrong with your choice if that's the one that you have fallen for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 That's really good to hear Mark! I was so disappointed when I tried the Lenni. The machine was great but the table was way too wobbly. I figured APQS had too much integrity to go with that table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandnerk Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Connie, I have a Lenni and live in Ripon, just north of Modesto - about an hour from downtown Sacramento. You are more then welcome to take a drive down and have a look. I do have the table which breaks down and have not had any trouble with it. I was just at the Quilt show in Long Beach and the APQS booth had a Lenni. The same dealer will be at PIQF in Santa Clara in October. That would be your best bet for test driving and getting all of your questions answered. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Kathy, Thank you so much for your offer. I'd like to take you up on it. My husband wants to see one before I take the leap and buy. I saw one the end of June at a show and absolutely loved it then. I can't stop thinking about having one. I am going to try an U2U so that we can get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Connie, Perhaps you too received the APQS e-mail this morning regarding the Lenni sale. If not there are a limited number of Lennis for $1,100.00 off. Sounds too good to miss. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltpki Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hi I too have a Lenni & live In the San Francisco bay area, If Ripon does not work out for you Id be happy for you to come by & check out mine. Penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I did get the e-mail about the Lenni sale. Wow!! Kathy has been kind enough to set some time aside on Saturday to let us come down and see her Lenni. Let's keep our fingers crossed that hubby is impressed. Penny thank you for your offer. I will keep it in mind incase something comes up tomorrow. Everyone is so thoughtful and helpful here. Makes my choice feel even more right.
