Machine Features
- Stitch regulator - When you use an APQS longarm machine you'll immediately notice the superior stitch quality. It's one of the main reasons people turn to APQS for their longarm needs.
- Low bobbin indicator - Know when it's time to change your bobbin to avoid running out of thread in the middle of your quilting design.
- Top thread break sensor - You'll be alerted if the top thread breaks so you can quickly get back to quilting.
- Bobbin thread cutter - Cut your bobbin thread with the touch of a button to quickly swap out thread colors and change the location of the machine on the quilt.
- Single stitch button, two position - Whether you like to tack your starting/ending stitches or knot &
bury, you can control it all with the touch of a button.
- Electronic horizontal and vertical channel locks - With the touch of a button, your wheels are locked out so the machine can only be moved in one direction.
- Single thread disk tensioner - Having only one place to set tension means our machines can run a wide range of even the most finicky threads, opening up your creative options.
- Interchangeable hopping foot - Change out the machine’s hopping foot to an open toe design! Your machine comes ready to accept different feet for the different kinds of quilting you do.
- Auto needle positioner - When you come to a halt your APQS machine will not stop partially in the fabric - it will either stop in the full up or full down position, depending on your preference.
- Horizontal wheels - Our machines are perfectly balanced on a horizontal wheel so you can stitch beautiful motifs easily with superb handling.
- Laser light with front and rear post - Easily follow a paper pattern with the precision laser.

tension and stitch integrity will be the same for the life of your
machine.

of what other quilting machines need, making maintenance simple and
easy.

motor are tucked away behind the clean lines of our machines.

level.
