A friend sent me two items that I cannot use. The tools are for Long Arm use and I don't have a Long Arm machine. The tools are: "The Key", a ruler from:

The second item is a LongArm Centering Tape. You can see it here:

If you want them and are willing to pay the postage to get them to you, they're yours. Just send me an email through my profile here. I hope that someone here can use them, when I looked at the sites I've linked I was surprised to see their prices.

The HQ16 is a wonderful machine! I sold my first one in 2004 because we went fulltime in our RV for a few years, but just recently bought one again, on their new studio frame. It's fantastic, and will do everything the "big boys" will do.

Have you "Tinkled" today?

I purchased an HQ Sixteen about three years ago and love it! I'm glad to see that it is getting some good feedback here. I've found that some longarmers who own Gammill or APQS machines can be a bit snobbish and look down on the less expensive machines. But I see where these makers are now offering machines in roughly the same price-point as the HandiQuilter. So they're learning that the market is there for those with limited budgets.

While the HQ 16 isn't one of the "big boys" it has done everything I've asked of it. If I had to do it over again today, I might investigate the "big boys" a little more, but at the time I made my purchase the HQ16 was about 1/2 the cost of the other big name machines. And I've been pleased with my purchase. If my HQ16 ever "dies", I will research and have hands-on testing of whatever system replaces it.

I purchased a long arm in 2003, a gammill classic. Try to purchase the smallest gammill ( you can finance it with them). It looks like a good size for the home user---however, PLEASE keep in mind that you need to learn to repair it yourself. So plan on a few classes to do that. I know a woman who purchased the hq sixteen and loves it. Either way you will get the "bug" and you will want to quilt all the time!

Thanks Terri... I just wasn't thinking in the right mode.
Really appreciate your help....Nan F

it's 18" or a half yard.
Don't feel stupid, we all have our moments when things just don't click.

What great fabrics. Can someone tell me how much fabric is in .5
I feel really dumb asking but if you don't know something the best way to find out is ask someone. Also I remember someone asking where you might find marble fabrics....well it looks like this site has it all. Nan F.

that fabric is waaaaaaaaay too cute for words! I feel the cc coming out.

Teri

Too cute!!

Have you all seen this new fabric called 'The Long Arm Quilter?'
