SusieQ(uilting) Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hello All, I have been following this forum for several months and have finally gone from a "wannabe future newbie" to a "future newbie" - a new Millie is expected in my hobby room around mid October!!! First off - many, many thanks to all for the ton of invaluable information available on this forum. Also a huge thank you to Suzan Pons for her time, help and support - also to Carol in Beamsville, Ontario. Carol turned the pictures from the internet into reality and made me realise that I can do this!,, A little background - I live in Luxembourg (Europe) though I am Canadian (a big hello to all the Canadians in this forum) and I think (to be confirmed) that my new Millie will be the first APQS machine in the country!!!! I have only been quilting for 4-5 years but decided that DSM quilting was not my thing and that there has to be a better way - so long arm quilting it will be! I look forward to sharing my experience with "y'all" and if there are any APQS users within the Luxembourg area I would love to hear from you.

LibbyG Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm so envious when I hear someone is getting the new Millie with all the great upgrades. As soon as people see your work, you'll find you have more friends with longarms. Glad you found the forum. Can't wait to see your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Congrats and welcome to the APQS family. We're all here to help so don't be afraid to ask any questions as you and your Millie are bonding. We've all "been there, done that" at one time. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your beautiful creations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieQ(uilting) Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks to all - it's nice to belong to the APQS family! I hope to get started with my "Millie" asap but realise that PPP is the name of the game. As I will not be using the machine for a commercial business I will take my time to learn, but probably by trial and error, so it will be awhile before I post my "works of art"! A little note to "Joma" - would love to have your email address to contact you directly. Thanks to my fellow Canucks for answering this post. A little note to Gail from Ottawa - I was born in Ottawa and went to school in the Maitland Ave area (many many moons ago - circa 1962) who knows maybe we know each other ....... I risk to bother alot of people in the future with all sorts of questions as I get the machine up and going. It's wonderful to have the support. "Talk" to y'all soon once I grt my Millie.
