Don't laugh...

But you know what my three very favorite features are on my new Millennium?

The motorized fabric advance is number one.  This is hands down, the best feature!  See that foot pedal on the floor?  One side makes it go forward, the other side put it in reverse.  It rolls a quilt up absolutely perfectly!

There’s also a hand switch at one end of the frame.

My next favorite feature?

The quilt tensioner on the rollers.  What a silly thing to love, but my how I adore this feature!  You lift the lever to release tension, or clamp it down to increase it. No more floppy quilts when you advance the quilt.  Priceless!

And last, but certainly not least, I can’t say how much I love having both horizontal and vertical channel locks. I’m going to have way too much fun with both!

By the way, my HQ16 is still up for sale.  When it sells, I will have room to add a great big work table for cutting and pressing, something I am really looking forward too!

CJ, I see stacks of batting in the background... does the frame of the Millennium hold rolls of batting like the HQ?

Looks like a perfect setup, CJ. You're a lucky girl. Your hubby must love you.

Boy, if I lived closer I would go snatch up that HQ.
