FiestaQuilter Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I admit I have been lurking on this forum for umpteen years all the time daring to hope that I might one day own an APQS beauty. Dreams come true! My new Millie was delivered in May and it has been a wonderful feeling knowing my girl is there waiting for me any time I want to play. A big thank you to all of you for all the detailed information about thread choices, thread tension, batting selection, training videos, learning the business, etc, etc. You are all such a fabulous group of caring people who hold nothing back when someone has a problem or just wants another point of view. For many years I quilted with a larger-throat DSM on a frame which gave me the confidence to take the bigger step and purchase the long arm. I have learned a lot and still have much to learn, but with your help I hope to some day quilt as beautifully as the work I have seen on this site. Thanks again, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyquilter Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I feel the same way you do. I have only had my Millie for a few weeks. I NEVER thought I would be able to own one. This is the first place I turn to when I have questions. I feel like I still have a lot to learn. The people on this forum are the greatest!! I would love to see pictures of your quilting!

Linda G. Craig Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Welcome Mary! As I read your message I can hear your smile. I've had my Millie since 2009 and I am still loving every moment. The "learning" never ends. There is always a thread here that will catch my eye and give me new ideas or hints along the way. So grab a cuppa, pull your chair a little closer and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
