CLRtoQuilt Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 What size table did you get with your machine? Are you happy with that size or did you wish you had picked out a different size? Thanks Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnQuilts Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have a 12' table. I can't imagine that I would ever want to do anything so big that it wouldn't fit on my table, so yes, I'm perfectly happy with that size. Besides, I wouldn't have room anywhere for a 14' table. I have a friend who got a 14' table many years ago when she got her machine and says she regrets it. She's rarely if ever needed it and it's a nuisance to have to walk around, she says.

thequiltqueen Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I, on the other hand, have the 14' table, and have needed it a few times. I happen to have a room that easily accomodates it, and am happy to have not had to turn away the larger quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I too have a 14' table, but my studio is 15' x 25', so I have plenty of room. While I haven't quite needed the whole length yet, I'm not sorry I bought it. If you've got the space, go for it. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyL Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I would recommend getting a 14' table if you have the room. I can't imagine that you'd ever wish you didn't have the extra 2 feet. I got the 12' table and there have been a few times that I was right at the limit of my space and wished for the extra 2'. When I bought the machine, I had a room large enough for the 14' table but we have several moves to make in the next few years and I figured I'd have better luck finding a house with room for a 12' table than I might for a 14' table.

Sue Patten Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 To each his own I think,:cool: I started off with 14 foot tables but wanted to fit more machines in my studio, know I have 3, 12 foot tables and an 8.8 foot table, I have never had to turn a king size quilt away but I no longer have room at the end of the table for my bowl of M&M's... LOL I will tell you, I don't miss my 14 foot tables one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherylUribe Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have the 12 foot. It works just fine for me! BTW - APQS will make custom any size you may need. Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbWetzel Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 As I loaded on a King size quilt the other day, I was sure glad I had a 14" Table. I love it... If you have the room you won't be sorry. Barb Wetzel Ivy Corner Quilting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRtoQuilt Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks everyone, My sweet husband and I are adding on to the house this next spring and he has planned out a room for my LA. Its 20ft x 20ft. Just wanted to make sure of what I am getting. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverthimble Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 If you have the room, get a 14 ft. table. However, APQS will customize the length of your table. I have a 13 ft. table. My studio was too small for 14ft., but 12 ft. didn't seem long enough, so my dealer suggested a compromise at 13 ft. I love it! Bottom line, get the longest table you can, you will never be sorry!

Grace Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Wish I had known about the custom options when I ordered my Mille five years ago. I have the 12' table, but there are times when the 14' would be really handy, ie, using the Circle Lord circle maker on the far left side of a large quilt. I am unable to make the final circle, no matter what I try, so have figured out that by repinning the zippers onto the quilt, I can get the cirlcles done. Not a great option, but an option none the less. Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyL Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you're talking about what I'm thinking you're talking about, you can change your CL to the right side (or left side) of the machine if you're short of space. I've had to do that before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I have tried to position the arm of the CL under the longarm, but it won't reach to do the size circle I want to do. Michael suggested adding onto the end of my table with a temporary 'arm' to hold the CL, but the problem is that there is a post vertically positioned at the end of my table that seems to be in the exact spot I need to use. The circles are large, so that is probably the primary problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Perhaps you need to re-position your stylus. When I first got mine, my stylus was towards the front of the head and I too had trouble. Michael was then made aware of a design change to the placment of our axles and made a stylus that attaches to my laser light post. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
