Jhend Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG! Yeah, my new hydraulic lifts are now on my Millie. One of my better investments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewhappy Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Joanne- What are the lifts? Where do they go &what do they lift? (for those of us that do not have APQS) sewhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Check with your quilt machine manufacture. They will have lifts designed for your table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhend Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have a Mille with 14ft table (although the size of the table doesn\'t matter). It lifts the whole table to a comfortable height to where you happen to be working at. Now I\'m able to sit and quilt or adjust to my standing height. Although I bought these through APQS, they may or may not work on your table. I would check with APQS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 The lift is so worth the money. I am not sure if it works on other machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hydraulic lifts should work on any table that has legs. That\'s all of them, right? You\'d think that if you get the machine the right height for YOU, that you wouldn\'t need them, but let me tell you, they are one of the best investments I\'ve ever made. Sometimes just raising or lowering the table an inch or two makes all the difference in the world when your back is hurting. I also like to raise mine to it\'s highest position before cleaning out the hook area, or checking needle bar height. Easy to just pull up my Black & Decker tool box/seat and sit at a comfortable height without banging my head on the rollers! :cool: I changed the position of the control button. Instead of putting it under the table (how stupid is that! I\'ve "zap-strapped" it to the right side of my tension bar. One of my customers that works only on the panto side of the machine, attached hers to a rail at the back/side of the machine. Here\'s a pic of mine.

kennan100 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I can\'t imagine not having the lifts. I\'m 5\'10" and it never fails that I end up standing on my head to do so many things and thought of cleaning the bobbin area or standing for long just makes my back hurt! (and I don\'t even have my machine yet!) Myrna, lovin\' your new avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maree Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Will the hydraulic lifts work on the Lenni table. I can\'t find a price for them anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhend Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Darlene I\'m with you on raising it to clean the machine. I put my switch on the take up roller switch, but I may have to move it after seeing yours. It\'s a dream to have. Maree, I paid $1,500.00 from APQS.

Sandra Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 The next best thing after the hydraulic lift is the key fob remote which controls the lift. One can sit and raise and lower the table from the front of the machine anytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
