I get asked a lot of questions about my longarm and longarm quilting in general. Today, I'll show you my longarm quilting studio and talk about some of the realities of owning a longarm. I recently upgraded from a Handi Quilter Simply Sixteen to an APQS Millie 30 and have learned a lot about what to look for in a machine before taking the leap into a purchase.
Details on my new machine: APQS Millie 30: https://www.apqs.com/machines/millie30/
The options I chose were Bliss tracks, hydraulic lift, and fabric advance. I also added the Quiltpath robotics.
