Bobbin case care and tension adjustment (video)

Longarm quilting machines require much less bobbin tension than you may believe when compared to your home sewing machine.

Checking for balanced tension and a good stitch are important first steps to ensure a beautifully quilted project.

Your APQS machine will go through a "break in" period when it is new. During that time, the electronics "loosen up" and react to the incoming power in your home or studio. Occasionally this causes your needle positioner to over-cycle and take more than one stitch when you turn off the sewing motor and stop sewing.

The unexpected thread snarl can be a major pain when quilting. Check out these tips and tricks to properly thread your machine by APQS Customer Service & Education Director Dawn Cavanaugh!
