ffq-lar Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hey Barb--you rock! And your hubby is not bad either! Barb and Mike just left after pampering my six year old Milli. She got new motor brushes, a new tensioner spring, and Mike tweaked the timing after my episode last month. Some cleaning and refurbishing was done, under the hood inspection, and confirmation that needle bar and hopping foot were at the correct height. We crawled around on the floor looking for dropped tiny bits, and had a great and informative time. Thanks Barb and Mike for the spa treatment. Opps, you forgot my pedicure!!:P:P Look at Barb's cute trailer!! She just got the signs this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive1 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 So with that trailer, do they travel around the country making house calls for tune ups? Looks like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 What a great idea ! It would be nice if APQS had servicing like that everywhere...........do they??? iT would be so much easier for them to come to us than for us to have to haul the machine to Carroll. Hummmmm?????

bonbon Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 YEP!! I'm a huge fan too!! Barb came to my place in July and did a doozie of a job on my machine and I learned tons 'o' stuff! Now I feel I have the confidence to at least open the hood and take a look around etc. My Millie is the same age as Linda R's and I too have new motor brushes and the like. Runs like a champ. Barb also adjusted my new edgerider wheels and now it feels like it should and that made me a happy camper. Keep traveling Barb, especially now that you have that awesome cute cute cute trailer. You wear it well as the photo shows!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yes, Barb is AWSOME in every sense of the word! LOVE the pics! Barb, congrats on that cute trailer!!!!!!!! Love the pose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melora Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I too am a fan, she taught me how to re-time my machine. She is my first call. And she is the nicest person and doesn't laugh at you, when after many years, you load the practice quilt wrong when all the moxies were here waiting for a demo on binding on the longarm. duhhhh, (I did laugh at myself though) Love the trailer!

JustSewSimple Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 How cute you all are and it looks like you are having such fun!!! But, did you include a picture of Mille having surgery? It looks like you have her all "opened up" and I thought I saw.....blood? You all did give her something for pain, didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Alright, alright, simmer down, ladies! I'm blushing from all the compliments - I just want everybody to be as happy with their APQS machine as I am! The trailer was designed and built to haul my show materials to regional Quilt Shows - there are cubbies for all the pieces and parts of my 7-foot show table and all the stuff that goes into a vendor booth for a Quilt Show. Normally, I travel around central and eastern Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana. Normally, I wouldn't have had my trailer with me to visit Linda, but we're spending the weekend with my son in Auburn, WA and we have to haul four stained glass doors back home - they were damaged in the building process of my son's new home, and he has asked me to repair the glass panels - sometime NEXT year.
