Performance
APQS machines are manufactured using the highest grade, lightweight aircraft aluminum. This aircraft aluminum means our machines have ultra light head weight and are a sheer pleasure to operate.  APQS machines are industrial, reliable and very durable and yet at the same time ultra lightweight and easy to maneuver.  Incredibly responsive to your touch.

Handling
APQS quilting machines become an extension of your hands, allowing you to instantly change direction. You'll quilt better, quilt easier and with more precision than you've ever dreamed possible.

Easy Set-Up
Every APQS quilting system comes complete with machine, table, patterns, thread, bobbins, industrial bobbin winder, needles, etc. The machine will also come with easy-to-follow, step-by-step assembly instructions as well as basic training video and manual. 

Assembly is simple and will only take a couple of hours at most. The sewing head is assembled for you; you need only assemble the table. If assistance is needed our technicians are available by telephone. We also offer the option of professional in home/business setup.
