Bobbin case maintenance [VIDEO]

While APQS machines don't just "go out of time," occasionally a mishap like a broken needle can change the timing between the hook assembly and the needle. If your machine skips stitches in the manual sewing mode or is not picking up stitches, use this video to help check or adjust your machine's timing. Imbalanced tension is not related to timing, however.

As your APQS machine breaks in over time you may need to adjust the needle positioning speed. Watch the video below to learn how.

APQS stitch-regulated machines provide beautiful stitches at the touch of a button. If your stitches seem quite a lot longer in one direction or the other when using your stitch regulator or the machine seems to hesitate, your encoder wheels may need adjustment. This video shows you how to make the adjustment on standard tables, including those with M & M wheels.

Learn how to adjust your needle up/down speed on APQS machines with LED lights. This adjustment ensures that the machine cycles the needle to the up or down position correctly.
