I'm thinking about buying one of these but I was wondering if anyone on the forum has bought one yet and how do you like it? I was watchine the videos and it looks like alot of fun. I just ordered my saddle stool to set on while I use this with my Millie. I think I will be buying it in the next couple of weeks. Will this work with my Millie I have the m&m wheels?

Thanks :)

Just wanted to let all of our Canadian friends know that Sparrow Studioz is now carrying the PPS as my distributor .... I am pretty sure that you will be able to try out the system in the studio on one of the rentals...

It has been a while since I have checked in on the APQS forums... The "Precise" Pantograph has really taken off in the market... We have most every machine out there and still hearing rave revues from our users. Last week we even made a trip to one of the major manufacturers that are interested in us making a Special Edition" just for their machines.

 

And it all started here... with my friends at APQS! Thank you all for your support. It just goes to show, when you have a good idea and send it out to the universe, you just never knew that it was a great idea from the start!

 

I never realized just how many people were having as much trouble getting the control over their pantos as I was... Here are a few of the comments I have gotten:

 

  Maureen Capps posted on Precise" Pantograph System's timeline "Trying out my new Precise" Pantograph System with Flora Belle, my Gammill. My pantos are so much smoother and more precise!! Love it!!"

 

Trinity, LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Would definitely endorse this product!!  Just did a quilt, turned out beautiful.  Saddle chair works great, slides smoothly on hard wood floor.  Best of all you couldn't tell I have such a problem with shakiness and difficulty standing!!!!!!!!  Pinning on another quilt to quilt this afternoon.  I'm a happy camper!!  THANKS  Jane

I finally got to try my Precise Pantograph system.  My SIL wanted to try a fairly intricate pantograph even though she had NEVER done a pantograph before. She picked out a southwestern design.  We ended up modifying the pattern by simplifying the cactus to make it more appealing and easier for her, but she was able to follow the pattern as it was.  So easy!  The system works just as Trinity said it would.  Yes the computer can do this, but computers cost thousands of dollars and Trinity's system is very reasonable, simple and easy.

 

I had a little bit of trouble installing it only because of my personal set up.  Since I have the SideSaddle computer on my Liberty I have a bar that is situated exactly where I needed to get to in order to attach the Precise system.  I didn't want to take my wheels off because they are adjusted perfectly at the moment so my husband helped me tip my machine over enough to attach Precise bar.  Since it was a PITA to do that I decided to leave that part attached.  I just remove the "V" part the laser attaches to.  It doesn't seem to get in the way of anything,  I have a quilt on the frame now (well sort of...it is laying across the frame...lol) that I plan on using a CL board on so we'll see.

 

I highly recommend this system to anyone wanting to do pantographs or needs to sit down while doing them,  It works!

Oma,

Great to hear your comments... I would appreciate seeing a few pictures of your PPS on your machine from both sides so that maybe I can help others that might have the "set-up" that you do. We are going to have a contest soon for current users of the PPS so stay tuned!

Oma, I see what you meant now, thanks for the picture... Like they say, 1,000 words.

 

I do see that your PPS is farther forward than the weld on the throat top... I am posting your pics along with what mine looks like.... If it works, heavens to Betsy... don't try to fix it... But, if you could move the PPS toward the back, you could gain some inches if you ever need them. :)

 

I leave my bar attached also and just remove the A frame, no problems here either.

Precise" Pantograph System Here is what Matt had to say about the "Precise" Pantograph System...

I AM AMAZED!
This could be the coolest thing to happen to a longarm since Bliss!
I didn't know how many people disliked standing to stitch pantographs.
We may need to permanently install a "Precise Pantograph System" on one of our rental machines.
I am in awe of how easy this makes pantograph quilting. Even beginners are able to stitch like a pro their very first time!

If you live in Canada, we can hook you up with a system. If you are in the US, head on over to https://www.facebook.com/PrecisePantographSystem

I just purchased the system and have done 2 quilts with it and I am also amazed at how much easier it is to do a panto.  I love being able to sit and it is just so easy to use.  I love mine and am glad I purchased it.
