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.

When quilters ask us what they should do to keep their machine working properly, they are often surprised by how little maintenance an APQS machine needs.

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.

A clean bobbin case means a happy quilting experience! APQS Education Director Dawn Cavanaugh shows you how to properly clean your bobbin case and adjust tension for a beautiful stitch.
