JudyL Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If any of you will be attending the Road to CA show, I'll be in Ginger's Quilt Shop's booth signing books. Come by and say hello please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Does APQS have a booth there? If so, I\'m curious if they are showing the new Millie. I saw it last night at the APQS showroom here in Des Moines. It\'s awesome and the visibility is greatly improved!! I want to upgrade just for the increased visibility.

ramona-quilter Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Judy, I will be at Road2CA tomorrow. I am catching a ride on one of the local guilds busses. I will be in Dawn C\'s class most of the day. I will look for you. I don\'t have your book yet so I will stop by and get an autographed copy. Debbi, as a matter of fact, APQS is listed on the vendor list. I don\'t know how big a presence they will have. This will be my first Road2CA. I hear it will be crowded. I\'ll go look for that new Millie. Mary Beth, if they have the new Millie, I\'ll take a photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 What? The "new" Milli??? Now hold on just a second... Milli just had a kid (Lenni) so hmmm..after losing the baby pounds, did she go and get a face lift or something? Now I am so curious about the new Milli...

dtreusch Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 She did get a face lift!! I drove her for a few minutes and the visibility is so much better. I want to upgrade or get rid of my light bar and get the same light she has... Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Debbi, I forgot to ask if you have a quilt at Road2CA this year. You took home a ribbon from Road last year, didn\'t you, for whole cloth? And then your Salt Water Taffy won in a couple of shows last year. You must be running out of room on your ribbon wall.

quiltmonkey Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yah, that girl oooozes talent, doesn\'t she! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don\'t have a quilt in Road to Ca this year. I was working on one, but just didn\'t get it done. The one I was working on with be at MQS. Have a good time at Road to Ca and take pictures for us. What classes do you have with Dawn? Probably doesn\'t matter. Any class she does is good! We had her at our longarm guild awhile back to do the fabric dyeing and we all had a great time. Dawn is the one that\'s oozing talent!!

JoAnnHoffman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Cheryl Uribe will be in the APQS booth with Raquel. I\'m are going just for fun with Jan I have a quilt I quilted for Bobbi Shear called "Esperanza Glowing" in Road 2 CA.It made it in the top 15 quilts in the online AQS quilt contest yesterday. The new Mille has led lights like Lenni and you can switch them to black light with a flip of a switch. Also the stitch dial is inset. I\'ll stop by Gingers Quilt Shop Booth.

dtreusch Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey Joann. Last night I was playing with the stitch dial on the new Millie and it looked to me like you can do half stitches per inch now (7, 7,5. 8, 8.5. etc). Another thing I checked out was the horizontal and vertical locks. They still have them backwards!!! It confused me for the longest time, until I memorized that the yellow button lets me stitch horizontally (vertical lock) and the red button lets me stitch vertically (horizontal lock). That\'s really cool that you can switch to a black light. I was wondering today how a black light would work with the led lights. Thanks for the info. Good luck on you quilt!!

Sandra Darlington Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Wow! A new Millie? Was the price higher for this new, improved model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQuiltToo Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 We just finished setting up my new Mille that arrived in late Dec. One of the questions I asked prior to shipping was is mine the latest model available? Guess not. As for R2CA - I will be there on Friday. Plan on seeing Judy L and spending time with the APQS girls. I have been to the show 3 or 4 times and it is fantastic. Looking at the quilts and checking in with my favorite vendors. Can\'t wait! It is a great show. I have taken classes with Paula Reid, but unable to get into Dawn\'s classes. Hope I can meet some of you there! Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 As far as the "new Milli" remember, it is only the new LED lighting that has changed. We decided to change the front and rear meter covers, but that is it. It is still the same as our Millennium has been for years as far as functions and the same great stitch regulator!!

Mary Beth Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Whew, Mark, I thank you, my DH thanks you, and my checkbook thanks you:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Mark, Removing that light bar makes a huge difference in visibility. Can I get the LED light on my machine? Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Debbie, With having the new LED lighting like the Lenni, we did have to change some internal wiring on the \'08 Millenniums, so it won\'t work to put that LED light on your existing Milli. Let us know if you have any other questions. Take care, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjdanley Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Mark, Have you considered having your enginers work on an LED light that would be compatable with the existing machines. The LED directs a brighter light from a much smaller package increasing visability. I would be interested in purchasing such a kit and would think other Millie owners would, too.

PattyJo Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Mark - I agree with Sharon. I would very much be interested in a light kit for my Millie. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
