p akers Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hello everyone, I was lucky enough to be able to attend the *Maintenance Class ** . It was held the 14 & 15 of last week . My Husband went with me (that made it really cool ) . I want to tell all of you that this was a real important thing for me as I wanted to know all I could about this machine and not feel intimidated by it . Amy Anderson taught this class and made it easy to understand , plus so much fun as well . If you have a chance to ever go to one , please do so as it is well worth the money and time ... Here is some pic's of the class , Amy etc. Pat this is some of the women at class ..trying to add more but having trouble. GRRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks for the pictures. I would love to take this class, too. I am so un-mechanical, I really need something like this to help me overcome my fear of the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Poore Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ditto!!! on the maintenance class. It was great, I'm the one in black & white, no face. I also attended Dawns classes, beginning longarm and advanced beginning longarm the 2 days before the maintenance classes. When you travel from Jackson Hole Wyoming you have to make as much of the trip as you can. Everyone was great at APQS!!! I think I've heard that before. Hope to get more involved with the forum but I'm trying to "become one with my Millienium". Sheila Poore:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yes, it was a great class. I waited three years to take it and held my breath as I tore into the motor brushs today and found them healthy and well. Adjusted my hopping foot height the first day home. Not afraid to look under the hood anymore. Thanks Amy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Now that is one class I would also love to take! Wow, look at all those machines! It's like the ob department for millies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Newfie Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yes, I too took the Maintenance class with Amy Anderson. Wow! It really helps to be able to hear the machine running the way it is supposed to and when not! I learned so much that when I got back home I cleaned and did some of the maintenance on my Milli right away. Amy is so friendly and so informative! I would reccommend that you take this class when available as it is invaluable! Since I live in 'Northern' Ontario, Canada, I drove 5hrs to Beamsville, Ontario to take the Maintenance class at Carol Cunningham's. I have been back there since to take Carol's Master Class in Heritage Quilting Design. She provides a positive and stimulating environment where the class is taught. We learned everything from design work, batting and their various types to threads and how to choose them. I would reccommend any class that she has to offer. You leave there feeling more confident and able to do all of those custom quilts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Smith Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm thinking seriously about taking this class too, but in the meantime, I had something happen tonight that I'd like others to comment on. I engaged my thread cutter and it wouldn't stop moving back and forth until I turned off the machine. This was not a total fluke as it did it several more times until I finally decided not to use it at all. I've had my Millie since June this year. I need to lower my presser foot too but my husband tried to turn the screw and stopped bc. he was afraid he'd strip it. Since I use very low loft, I'd like to adjust it but 'don't want any more problems. I have a couple quilts to do for customers and don't want to be without my Millie to do them.
