I am so new to this forum. I am not even sure if I am adding this thread correctly! I just bought a longarm.I have been dreaming of owning one and I finally did it. Does anyone else have a Husqvarna Platinum 3000? I am waiting for its arrival!

Sandy Navas has a Husqvarna long arm. After some issues, they got it going, and her hubby has become the expert longarmer!
Hi Cherie
Welcome to the forum from Joan in Massachusetts.
Hello and welcome from North Carolina! I'm sure you will find some wonderful help here!
Enjoy your new LA!!
Cherie, WELCOME to the forum. Jean is correct - I have the Mega-Quilter though and the primary issue(s) with the machine have been total lack of support from the local (not so close) staff and their total lack of knowledge about the machine, the set up, and the ability to trouble-shoot. Great that I am married to an engineer.
Thankyou!! I am Thankful to beble to have a forum like this to find help.The Longarm is in boxes but we will be setting it up this week.whohoo!!Quote:

Hi Joan !!!! Thankyou :icon_happy:
I am hoping all will go well in setting the machine up. I spent the last week painting the room for this baby. I am hoping it will be put together by the weekend. I am excited!
Welcome to the forum Cherie! I have the same as Sandy - the MegaQuilter. I am still a very beginner on it, even though I have owned it for almost 2 years (there was a kitchen remodel in the middle of this time frame). Lots of youtube videos out there and also Craftsy classes.
If you are on facebook, there is a Beginner LongArm Quilters group that I am a member of - it is a "secret" group, so you can post photos of quilts you are working on and your regular fb friends won't see them - especially important if the quilt is a present!
Hi Lisa!
Thankyou for the FB info. I will look for that tonight! 😊 I am still pinching myself that I actually finally did it! Even had to take a love seat and coffee table out of the sitting room. It has been renamed the Longarm room!! life is good!!
Lisa
What is the exact name of the group. I could not locate it?
If you send me a private message on here with your email address or real name, I can invite you. I think since it is "secret" you have to know someone to get invited. To send a private message on the forum, click on my name to the left and choose private message. I can add fb friends or invite by email. Whichever one you are most comfortable with.Quote:
