If he won't come to your house for dinner, can you take dinner to him?

What I was given was a DAQ on a 12' table. I haven't ever had a quilting machine so this will be an experience for me. I read somewhere that the company went out of business. As for now this will work for me. I am very new at this and will use it until I can purchase a different one later on maybe. I have read a few people's comments and one lady has had hers for about 15 years and is still using it.
I was also given lots of batting and a large spool of thread plus a kit for a Dresden Plate quilt. ;) Was like Christmas in our house.....for me. ;)
Just had to share.
Hugs,
Angie

You need a manual to know how to service your mahine. A longarm is like a car--you need to maintain it well to have it work well.

What do you grease your machine with? The Design a Quilt sits on a pan of oil. ? I hadnt ever heard of it either but thats how this one is made. I just don't know what kind of oil to put in it and I don't know how full to fill it.
I don't know what you mean by setting on oil, and I don't know what sort of machine a DAQ is. But I have a longarm and I oil it at 6 different points every day, sometimes several times a day if I am quilting for a few hours. They use a lot of sewing machine oil. I also grease my machine once a month.
