    Good for you..I hope you continue to learn and enjoy it. Sleep apnea can be a dangerous condition. One needs to get help for it. My son-in-law uses c-pap at night and it has made a world of difference in his life.

    Kay, I started out with the Viking Mega Quilter 9" and it was great. Never had to change the tension and I used all sorts of threads. I then added PCQ robotics but I soon got tired of the small throat so moved up to a stretched Juki 18" on the same frame which was a Grace Pro 10' and still with robotics but moved up to the PCQ retrofitted MQR. I have now moved up for the last time to an Innova 26", 12' frame and upgraded the MQR. I'm in 7th heaven but it all started out with the MegaQuilter so enjoy your machine as I found mine to be a dream to use.

    My DH and I both have sleep apnea, so I understand when the settings aren't right how tired you can get. Sounds like things are improving, so have fun with your FMQ.

    Praying that you continue to improve with your sleep apnea.

    Good luck to you! I only know of one person who has sleep apnea and he scares me to death. My sister's gentleman friend drives from his house to her's and it's a 45 minute drive. On top of this he imbibes too much alcohol. When they go out she drives thank goodness. But still scary!

    Good for you - it pays to be persistent! My Dad had sleep apnea - those cpap machines are worth their weight in gold.
