I am looking for a tablet to use on a Bernina Longarm Quilting Stand. Only use will be software to quilt. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

No experience with quilting software, but if you can install it on a Windows computer, you should be able to install it on the Iconia. Only caution is that the Iconia doesn't have a CD drive, so the install software will have to be downloaded, run off a thumb drive, or off an external CD drive. Software should run on the tablet with no problems since the full version of Windows 8 is installed on it.

Hi! You can put a quilt of any size on this frame. After you make your quilt "sandwich" (top, batting, and back), baste it or pin it together, then simply drape it over the quilt frame and put on the clamp pieces. I usually start my stitching near the center of the quilt. Quilt the area inside the frame, then pop off the pieces that hold the quilt in place and shift it to a new area. Turn the quilt around as necessary to keep it from piling up in your lap. I love this frame. It comes apart in minutes and you can store it in the box. I went to Lowe's and had them cut me a piece of Masonite (lightweight board used in construction) 3' x 5' and I lay that on top of the quilt frame when it's empty so I can sort quilt block pieces. Then I store that board under my mattress until I need it again. I have a wooden quilt frame, but I don't think I'll ever use it again because this plastic one is so easy and quick (and takes up less floor space) to use. Happy Quilting!!!

I suggest you look for something stronger. I use the Nexus7 and the metal insert inside the loom broke and I fixed it but ended with a shorter pedestal.

I personally would not recommend it. I would get a cheep android. There are no modern driver for the original slate. It has lots of glitches. Its very heavy and gets very hot. It was at the time when came out. I like windows. But If you are looking for some thing offordable like I said go for tablet you'll like it a lot better.

Not enough info about Windows 8, atm. But at first glance, I want this because I want to be able to access normal Windows 7 programs. For Windows 8, it appears that the tablet form (ARM) needs a special version of the app and these won't be necessarily the same as their x86/x64 counterparts.So, yeah...I think I'll save up for the Samsung. It has pretty much everything I need.

I also bought this for sewing and quilting. So far I am very happy with it. You can use it with and without steam. I also like that you can bypass the automatic shut off which is great for quilting. In the past I have had several Rowenta's and they all leaked water. I have had no leakage with this one. Very pleased.

The Clover mini=iron is fine for pressing seams while piecing, however it does not do as well on a larger area. Therefore I prefer the Rowenta travel iron, use it always when I am sewing for quilting.

Yes! I am very pleased with my Merkury I PAd stand. I used it a lot when I am cooking in the kitchen using recipes from Food Network.

I really like it for quilting. It stays hot, and I can use the point on either end for pressing. I recommend it.

Check the electric quilt website if download option is available. Have some one copy it to a thumb drive maybe can install from that drive.

I do not use the tablet for drawing. I use it most always for 3D modeling rather than a mouse. My uneducated guess is that it is an excellent and less expensive choice for graphics/drawing. My only complaint is a lack of a software settable pressure threshold as the pen engages with the slightest touch to the tablet.

Mary,The aspen A701 along with the newest of Azpen's 7-inch tablets (A727) pretty much has "developer options" hidden until you ..Settings--> scroll down to "about tablet" --> hit "about tablet" around 8 times then voila, developer options is displayedThis is typical of all Android tablets from this cheap tablet all the way up to the Google Nexus 10. Roget S posted the link how to root the device and it works flawlessly. BTW, all Azpen tablets are pretty much entry level devices however it's a good beginner tablet to hack...don't even try viewing Netflix or even attempt lengthy Youtube videos...ugh!

I'm a quilter and have used Rowenta for well over twenty years . . .but they're disposable. I got about 18 months out of the models I've bought in last ten years. I switched to Reliable after hearing about a number of fires from people on a quilting forum. You can google "Rowenta fire" and read for yourself. I loud recommend doing so before investing in an iron. I couldn't be happier with the Reliable. The steam is far more powerful.

Go to Viewsonic Gtablet for Dummies...easy to understand and unleashes the tablet.I started with Brilliant Corners by Roebeet and am now on the Gingerbread Collection by Zyhong. Notion Ink(Adam Tablet) just release the code for their product so a Honeycomb stable release should be in the making.

This is not a stand-alone tablet. It essentially acts like a monitor you can write on. You will have to install whatever software you want to use on your computer in order to use it. There is another version (Cintiq Companion) that has the android operating system on it. I am not sure if illustrator has an app for android.

I am looking for the lightest, best image, longest battery life, strongest power in a 7" unit - basically my PC on the road. I want to stop carrying my Daytimer and texting on my phone. Does the Tablet have any Microsoft Text editing capabilities and address files and GPS apps or do I have to get an Office or GPS app? I have researched the Fire and the Tablet and the Tablet looks best. Thoughts?

I have this iron. It took me three times returning the iron until I got one that works. I think the key is not to have it on for a long time and if so turn it to dry heat. At one point it actually shorted out and caught my fabric on fire Rowenta does stand by their product. I called Rowenta to deal directly. I was told by Rowenta that this is a travel iron and not made for a quilting iron. Good luck.
