Needle up-down adjustment for LED light machines [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.

Beautiful quilting stitches are easy to achieve thanks to the simple disk thread tensioner on APQS longarm quilting machines. In this video, APQS Customer Service & Education Director Dawn Cavanaugh shows how easy it is to adjust your top tension!

In this video, we will show you how to repack your gearbox. This is a procedure that we only do when you hear the gearbox is getting noisy.

While APQS quilting machines rarely require timing, if a needle jam occurs you may need to give some TLC to your hook assembly and re-set it. This introduction will help you locate the best tools for the task, making the timing process simple and straight forward. Be sure to watch the entire timing series on the APQS Quilting Channel, along with other great videos to build your knowledge and expertise.
