When should I call for technical support?

Print Page

If you have a question or a concern, please do not hesitate to call.  That’s what we’re here for! 

Before you call, you may want to write down what’s happening with the machine, and jot down other relevant information, such as the type of thread you’re using, does the problem happen all the time or once in a while, etc.

It’s also helpful if you have a portable phone or can be near your machine when you call--it’s certainly much easier on you than to have to run a flight of stairs to look at your machine while we walk through questions to diagnose the problem.

On all APQS machines you will notice LED lights on the top of the machine, facing the front.  Check your manual to find out the function of each of these lights.  Many times when you call in for technical support, we will ask which of these lights are on to help diagnose problems.

We would much rather hear from you when you first encounter a problem that you can’t solve, than to have you wait until you are really frustrated.  Also, we can’t help if we don’t know there is a problem!  Even if you think it may be “operator error”, it won’t hurt to check with us -- especially if the machine is under warranty!!

We would like to see your machine in the factory once every 3 - 4 years to keep an eye on gears, bearings, etc.  Plan to send it in during a slow time of the year for your business or during your vacation.  Then, when you’re in a rush, your machine will run much more smoothly! Of course, we’d appreciate a call ahead of time so that we can schedule time for your machine, as well as keep an eye out for the machine to arrive.

Thanks for purchasing an APQS quilting machine and welcome to the APQS family!!  We hope you will enjoy your machine and we promise to do our BEST to take care of you and your machine!

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.
