wreckser Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hello to all. I have been stalking on this forum for over a year, and want to say thank you for all of the excellent information. My wife and I are both quilters (as are both of our daughters), and yesterday we took the plunge and bought a used, 2009 Millie. We are both very excited, and look forward to being active members of this forum. Wreckser, Another Manquilter. Flying S Quiltworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cblevins Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Welcome! My husband mostly operates the Millie in our house. My daughter and I do the piecing and binding. It is wonderful to have a common interest to share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wreckser Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Got the Avatar going - that's my lovely family! We live in North Texas, west of Fort Worth. I grew up on a ranch in Kansas, the "Flying S" is our cattle brand - hence the business name. I've only done one quilt on a longarm I rented (not an APQS ) - I'll post pictures soon. Thank you all for the encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Glad to have you join our family. We love to see everyone's work and you'll be plenty busy with so many quilters in the family. Who knows! You may even have to buy another machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCity Quilter Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 From another quilting family, a big welcome! My husband (former dairy farmer, 2 out of three daughters and myself all have the quilting bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Welcome out of lurkdom. I think there may a queue in your family to use the machine. Better get some Red Snappers or Leader Grips to start with if it doesn't have zippers. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Welcome Wreckser and family, Once you get that Millie going you'll all be fighting over time on it. Check back to keep us informed on how it's going. I can't imagine 4 people waiting to use one machine. That should be interesting....or maybe only 1 or 2 of you will be doing the actual quilting?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 So glad you and your quilting family have joined the APQS family, Wreckser! Let us know how we can help you. From the looks of your quilt photos in another thread, you're already zooming ahead...the quilting is wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
