sspingler Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I can move my Nolting handles any way I want both front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'm in the testing stage and I will be selling as well. They are working very well so far. Give me about a week and we'll go from there. Testing should be done then. I'm still working on a cost and will have that figure by the end of the week too. zeke....... And yes, we know that you can move your Nolting handles. Don't rub it in for us APQS kids. I'm working on an alternative for us kids who would like the handle vertical instead of horizontal. Some of us need the verts due to the fact of health issues and some of us just like the vert feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Fabulous. I was going to order micro drive handles for my machine till I saw how much they are. I have a very handy husband so I am going to ask him to McGyver some up for me. Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njquiltergirl Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi Zeke...are they the same on the ones on the Liberty? Love the copper pipe!! You are a man of many talents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hi Lisa, They're similar. These come out from the machine about 5 1/2". In fact, the first handles are going to a gal with a Liberty. She only has the regulator on the left-hand side. If you thinks that's cool, than you ain't seen nothing yet. Compuquilters folks would be in "awe" with what I have on mine. It's in the patent process right now. Maybe a picture in the furture. zeke............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njquiltergirl Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Very cool, indeed! Having them out a little further would be good for quilting the way back...near the leveler bar. Jess: Yes, you are definitely sweet! Enjoy your handles. Let us know how they work out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeri Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Personally -- I LOVE my adjustable handles that came with my Millie. APQS was the ONLY company with any adjustment in the handles when I bought mine in 2002. The verticle ones just kill my arms, nec, hands, and shoulders. Nough said different things work best fr different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia Wilson Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Zeke...I would LOVE to see what you have come up with for CompuQuilter. I love my CQ and can only wonder what you're up to......Send me pics too when it is finalized.... By the way, cool handles! Cheers, Nadia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hey Nadia, Do you think you could handle it. It makes life with the CQ so much easier. zeke................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia Wilson Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 ok Zeke....so now you really have me wondering what you're up too!!! I thought life with CQ was the easiest ever!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I am wondering now too. I would love to know what would improve my CQ:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I should be hearing from Jess sometime early this coming week on how she likes the new vertical handles. zeke......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Maybe APQS could take the wonderful Millie handles and hinge them somehow in the middle so that they could come to the front for those that like upright in front handles.

Butterfly Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I've spent the past couple of days quilting with the new handles Zeke made for me. They are so wonderful. I can't even tell you how happy I am with them. Its so nice to be able to work without pain. He did such a good job. They're sturdy and adjustable and fit me great....handles are 10 inches apart instead of 12. I wrapped them in spongy bike handle wrap so they look all pretty too. I'll post a pic tomorrow. Thank you so much, Zeke. They make a world of a difference for me. :) Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwltnldy Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 The handles on the Liberty are vertical and sometimes I wish they were horizontal! LOL I do think the light is in my way, however. I have a really hard time seeing my work and have to do all kinds of things to see. It's been hard and if I had known better, I might not have bought this particular machine.
