Jbkendrick Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Anyone using the new katydid lighting system? Would be interested in your thoughts versus installing track lighting on ceiling above longarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastquilts Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I bought my lighting system from Dave and Delola Jones. I absolutely love it and dont know how I got along without it. It is awsome and worth every cent I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbkendrick Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Is that the katydid unit or something else. Where can I check into it? Thanks for the reply. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Welcome to the forum John. I too have the Dave Jones system and have been very pleased with it. http://www.deloasquiltshop.com/customizeyourlongarm/longarmlightingsystems.html I haven't seen anything about Patty's (Katydids) system so I am not sure if it is the same system or not. When I looked on her website I didn't find any mention of lighting and her studio pictures show ceiling lights. If she has come out with a new system I am not trying to point you off in another direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Matt Sparrow came up with inexpensive solution as well. http://manquilter.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/new-lighting-for-2009-apqs-millennium/ My set up is very similar to this except I bought the elbows instead of bending the tubes with heat. I sprayed mine flat black. If I was doing it again I would probably use 2" as it would sag less in the middle. You can also make a hole in the top to run the cord inside the tube.

Would be interested in your thoughts versus installing track lighting on ceiling above longarm. Hi John. The lighting system that I offer is the APQS overhead system, not my own product. Sorry all for any misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 my sweet hubby built mine for only about $80 and a bit of time! I love it! He first built it for Lenni on a 10 foot frame and then expanded it for Freedom on a 12 foot frame. We modified Matt's instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I love mine, got it from DeLoa's store, one of the best things I've ever added to my Millenium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
