The APQS Ellie is small but powerful!

Features of an APQS Ellie Quilting Machine

  • Intelligent Stitch Regulation

    We use precise encoders tucked into our APQS Larry wheels to give you the perfect stitch every time. Our stitch regulator isn’t a purely digital regulator, instead it relies on fuzzy logic to monitor not just your speed but also your direction. When you change directions you’ll get a point in your point… every time.

  • Motor rated at 3500 Stitches Per Minute

    Our APQS Larry motor is calibrated to reach 3500 stitches per minute. While you likely won’t go that fast normally, having a high SPM ability gives your motor greater headroom to speed up and respond to you as you change directions. It is an indicator as to how responsive your stitch regulator will be.

  • Height Adjustable Halo Table

    The clever APQS Halo frame for Ellie is compact at only 5′ so she’ll fit perfectly in your sewing space. Want to sit and quilt, just lower her table down and grab a chair!

  • Adjustable Ergo Handles

    Independently adjustable Ergo handles on the front of the APQS Larry with finger touch button control.  Change your grip depending on your quilting style while still being able to control the machine even when it is at the back of the table.

  • Interchangeable Hopping Foot

    Change out the APQS Larry quilting machine’s hopping foot to an open toe design! Your machine comes ready to accept different feet for the different kinds of quilting you do.

  • LED Lighting and Built In Blacklight

    Bright, clear lighting increases accuracy. The built-in black light lets you adjust the lighting with the flip of a switch on the APQS Larry.

  • Your Choice Size Bobbin- L or M for $500 more

    You get a choice of the size bobbin you prefer so your APQS Larry machine is specifically made to your tastes and style of quilting. Want the bigger bobbin? It can be added for $500.

  • Stand Alone Turbo Bobbin Winder

    Consistently wound bobbins are the foundation to good tension on the APQS Larry. We build these industrial grade bobbin winders from scratch.

  • APQS Beginner's Class & Start Up Kit

    We want you to be as comfortable and as confident with your machine as possible! Your longarm education is just as important to us as the purchase of your machine. You’ll get a full, one day class to learn how to use your machine. Each machine also comes with a starter kit with needles, a pantograph, bobbins and some thread to get you started with your APQS Larry long arm quilting machine.

  • Panto Package

    $950

    Add rear handles, a pantograph shelf/cover and a laser light so you can work from the back of the machine tracing paper pantographs.

I have an APQS dealer closer to me, but I went a little further so that I could deal directly with Angela—she is definitely worth it
I just bought my first longarm, and Angela and the Quilted Joy team made it so easy! Angela is always willing to answer questions very patiently, no matter how small, and she explains things in a way that is easy to understand. She also gave great recommendations about what extras are worth getting at the beginning, and which ones to wait to see if I really need or want them. I have an APQS dealer closer to me, but I went a little further so that I could deal directly with Angela—she is definitely worth it!
