barbm Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Congrats on your new Lenni, Jeanne!!:P Hello from WA State to snowy San Diego.....

Jeanne Knowles Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey Barb! So good to see your smiling face. We went to the desert for the week-end so we got to drive thru that snow. I took lots of pictures but it doesn\'t compete with your snow levels! Love right back to you and Agnes - I\'m making tops for the Lutheran church now. Their comfort quilt program. Miss you guys terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Jeanne, Have you ever done Seminole patchwork borders? I\'m working on one for my secret sister\'s quilt and I\'m trying to figure out how to do the corners and sew it onto the body of the quilt.

Jeanne Knowles Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have a UFO from \'06 that I planned do to a seminole border on. I think the quilt and the instructions are in our storage unit. In other words "lost" at the moment. I think you piece it over-sized then trim to dimensions. I\'ll bet other quilters here have more experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigoreo Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 do you still have your machine for sale? do you have any picts? does it have a stitch regulator? am looking for a long arm machine. have never heard of an EZQ. tell me about it . it sounds good thanks patty;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Patty, The EZQ was sold by APQS quite a few years ago. It\'s actually a Consew head and is considered a "short" arm. They are workhorses, that\'s for sure. This is a very low cost way to get into "stand up" quilting, and with the modifications made to this machine, you\'ve got more versatility than it did originally. I believe this machine has a 12" throat, but not sure. Here\'s an old picture of it from my APQS files. It looks to me tho\' like this is mounted on an Ultimate 2 frame as it appears too big for the machine head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Knowles Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Patty, The EZQ is one of APQS\' first machines and it\'s a short-arm. It has an 11in. head which gives you about 8in. of work area. It was orignally designed to do pantos, but my DH who is an electrician modified it for me with front handles and controls. It does not have a stitch regulator but is a inexpensive way to learn the art of quilting and see if you want to invest the larger amount for a machine with all the bells and whistles. I can send you pictures by e-mail if you\'d like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Knowles Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks Darlene, My machine is very similar with the same style of table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne Knowles Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Wilma, I agree, I love my EZQ. I call her Nellie, after my grandmother. But I don\'t have room for both machines. I recently moved to San Diego from Northern Idaho and we now live in a large 5th-wheel trailer! It is a toy hauler with a separate 17ft. garage that is my studio! My husband has fixed it up nicely for me with a system across the back wall to display quilts and lots of storage cabinets for all my "stuff". But unfortunately, Nellie has to go.

lee Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Jeanne I know you will miss your Nellie,,,but space comes first,,,Good lucky in selling your machine,,, the person who get it will enjoy it as much as you have over the years,,,:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Welcome to San Diego, Jeanne. I live up in Ramona. So you live in a fifth-wheel and have a separate trailer for your studio. Quilting on the Go, how cool is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Knowles Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey Linda, thank you for the welcome. I think of you every time we drive thru Ramona past your LQS. We ride ATV\'s in Ocotillo Wells. Living in a 5th wheel is a new experience, I\'ll tell you, but we\'re adjusting. I tell my DH we should start a business called Quilts and Quads. He\'s a safety instructor on the week-ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Knowles Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Must lower price! DH says I can\'t take posession of LENNI till Nellie is gone! No room for both in the 5th-wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hey you guys, The EZQ was our 2nd machine and was a trusted work horse. I even made a handle for the front of the machine with an on/off button on it. It made it easier to do freeform from the front of the machine instead of looking over the back and straining your neck. take care..zeke..........
