marycontrary Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ok, did I just imagine it? A few months ago I thought there was talk of a new computer system coming out. I thought it was another new one that APQS was developing, but then again, maybe Matt had something to do with it? Anyone have any news on this, or have I finally lost my mind?

srichardson Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 No Mary you haven't lost your mind, I read it too. I think that it was Barb Mayfield in Washington that mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Mary, You heard right. The new system is wonderful, and should be ready for prime time by the end of August if not before. We'll keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 We need more info Dawn,.. any timeframes available, price ranges, you know..all the good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well, the timeframe is a bit flexible as we want to be sure everything is just right before debut. We're shooting for the end of August, if not sooner. It will be easy to self-install, will mount right to your sewing head, and can be removed for designing and digitizing right in your lap. It will be right around $9500. As soon as the engineers have things figured out, watch for an announcement on the website soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janette Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hope the vertical lenni tables will work with the computer system??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Any news on the new computer system???? I'm in the process of lining up funding so I can add this to my show machine. Anxiously waiting any info available...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudithWashburnQuiltStudo Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Dawn, Will it work on other brand of machines and their tables (i.e. Nolting, Innvoa...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi everyone, We're still working on an end-of-August debut for the system. Judith, This particular system will only work on APQS machines (Millie and Freedom models immediately....other models soon to follow.) It uses specific advantages of the APQS table design to operate. Right now that's where our focus is, but who knows what the future holds in store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Dawn, can you tell us what some of the features are? Will it be capable of P2P (point to point) or "line path"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Dawn, Will this system work with the older models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnCavanaugh Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Cee, We are working on creating the right parts for the system to work with older models. We will keep you posted on our progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Originally posted by Janette Hope the vertical lenni tables will work with the computer system??? No, it will not. Just had that confirmed. There is an option for those Lenni owners or owners with vertical wheels. There is a new smaller, more affordable IQ system that was designed for the smaller machines, but will also work on the larger systems. You can get a panto only version for under $8000.00 and a full system for under $10,000. I have posted info under the Computerized category.

I kind of thought it would be too good to be true.... Lennis are always getting left out :mad: I will look at your other post. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb2bie Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Janette, Lenni isn't getting completely left out, just the vertical wheeled ones. You could upgrade to a horizontal wheeled and to the computer system. I know that involves more money but it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could upgrade to a horizontal wheeled and to the computer system. I know that involves more money but it can be done. The APQS computer is not available to any Lennis at the beginning, just Millies and Freedoms Anyway my Lenni is only 2 years old with vertical wheels, in order to have the APQS computer system, I would have to spend $4000 plus shipping and import on a bliss table and another $10000 plus shipping and import for the computer system - I was kind of hoping that the computer system would work on the vertical wheel set up and bypass bliss as that is a considerable way towards any computer system - I kind of knew it wouldn't - we missed out on MM wheels without having to upgrade the whole bliss table, we could only get IQ if we bought the IQ carriage (which I have) At least IQ can run on my current set up .. now to start saving hard .... It is like computers - you buy one and it is obsolete a couple months later .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 It is like computers - you buy one and it is obsolete a couple months later .... I feel the same way. There have been times that I haven't even gotten a new purchase used before "the next best thing" comes along. And when we start talking thousands of dollars it's SCARY! I so much wanted to upgrade to the Bliss, but so far there isn't a way to do that and keep my SideSaddle computer system. The carriage system doesn't convert at that moment. So I upgraded to the M&M wheels. That helped a lot. I love my Liberty, but it's almost like it doesn't exist anymore. Having said that...I must remember that I can still do a lot with it. Way more than I'm doing so I'm ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 It is like computers - you buy one and it is obsolete a couple months later .... That doesn't happen with the IQ. It is constantly evolving, but all the software upgrades are free and the tablets just keep on ticking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
