Auto Stitch Regulator

Quilt artists, instructors and custom quilters worldwide tell us everyday they switched to an APQS quilting machine because of the stitch quality.

"My favorite thing about the APQS Millennium is the stitches," Karen McTavish.

Grab a magnifying glass, just like a judge at a quilting show, and you'll see exactly what we mean.

The APQS stitch regulator produces stitches of consistent length - even as you change quilting speed or direction and makes perfect star points and squares with crisply defined corners.  (watch video)

Simply select 8 to 15 stitches per inch and every stitch will be the same, giving your quilts a professional look.

A gauge on the front of the machine confirms the stitches per inch you've selected with the stitch regulator in "On" position.  It also tells stitches per second when you quilt manually.

A product of advanced APQS engineering, our proudest accomplishment, the Automatic Stitch Regulator has no lag time when adjusting the needlebar speed on the fly during freehand quilting.  That give you greater control.

The stitch regulator reduces practice time, allowing you to begin quilting faster and even to cleanly stop, think and restart while in the middle of creating your designs.  (watch video)

The APQS Stitch Regulator works together with the Smart Bobbin and easy to change tension adjustment to allow you to "draw" with your needle.
