Sharon Deming Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have a Lenni (that I call Margie), and love her. My advice is to get the Bliss table, and a 12' table if you have room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 How exciting! I would also recommend a 12' table over the 10 footer, if you can fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sallyquilt Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 The bliss option is well worth the money. Let us know how much you love it once you are up and running. Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAboutQuilting Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have Lenni with a 10 ft. table and upgraded to Bliss shortly after it became available. I would have a 12 ft. table if I had room. But 99% of the quilts I quilt are queen sized or smaller so there are no issues with size with my 10 ft. table. And I absolutely love my Lenni!!!

Schlick Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I had a Gammill Classic on 12' table for about 16 years. I sold the Gammill and bought a used Lenni on a 10' bliss table. I love this little machine on the 10' table. It's a simple but amazing quilting machine and the smaller machine on a smaller table are just exactly what I wanted. If I were buying a new Lenni I would definitely get the Bliss table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila S. Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have had my Lenni since October and I love it. I have the 12 foot table but I do not have the Bliss table. When I ordered it the dealer told me I would not need it with the Lenni because it was a lighter machine. I am very new to long arm quilting but so far I really like this machine and I think it handles very good with the table I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I love my Lenni, "Penny" (for good luck). My problem is my physical limitation. Really quite easy to freehand with.. I just love my Penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila S. Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Rita, do you have the Bliss table? I do not and I feel it works very well without it. I am new to long arms and invite any comments that anyone gives. SHEILA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Sheila, In total honesty I do not have the bliss table. Instead I got the edgeriders on the new carriage and track and when I tried the bliss at a show, I felt my Penny ran smoother. The folks I got the new carriage and rails from, don't sell them any more. Wishes they did. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila S. Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Rita, Could you tell me what the largest panto you can use on your lenni. Will a 12.25 panto work? Thank you. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juststarting Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Was told 14" but I don't think so.waiting for delivery still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBQuilts Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have lenni on 10' table and love it. It's the perfect size for me, 5'1", but I wanted(still do) the 12' table. So far I've only had 2 quilts too large. As for pantos, which I mostly do, 13.5 is not quite manageable. You have to do some fudging(re drawing) at the top of the panto on the last few rows of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila S. Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Janice do you think the 12.5 would be a better choice for the pantos for Lenni? I just do not want to buy them too big and get frustrated when using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBQuilts Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yes,Sheila. But, you are limited in choices in the various sizes. Sometimes the one you want is 13. Urban Elementz will resize theirs for a fee. I went larger on one that was too closely drawn and was very pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila S. Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Janice, Thank you for that information. That helps me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I don't try to do any panto's ovewr 12 inches. I seldom do a panto due to it causing spinal pain. Penny is computerized. We took a closet and made it into an alcove and put one end of the table in there. It was the only way a 10 foot table would fit. A 12 foot table would have needed my dsm corner taken out and put in another room. I didn't want that. I've only had 2 quilts that were too big to comfortably fit on the frame One I sent back, just did Not like the quilt or her requests, top of the line custom and only wanted to pay for an all over. The other I left about 18" not quilted down one sode, finished the rest of the quilt and rebasted the quilt to a zipper leader and finished the other strip. Came out quite well. That quilt was 120" long.. it was getting snug in the throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
