Features of an APQS George Longarm Quilting Machine
Motor rated at 3500 Stitches Per Minute
Our 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.
Interchangeable Hopping Foot
Change out the 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
Your Choice Size Bobbin- L or M
You get a choice of the size bobbin you prefer so your machine is specifically made to your tastes and style of quilting. There is no difference in price; just tell me how you want it made at the factory!
Stand Alone Turbo Bobbin Winder
Consistently wound bobbins are the foundation to good tension. We build these industrial grade bobbin winders from scratch.
Synchronous Timing Belt
APQS machines are precisely held in time through our belt drive technology. Enjoy tension and stitch integrity that will be the same for the life of your machine.
Single Thread Disk Tensioner
Having only one place to set tension means our machines can run a wide range of even the most finicky threads, opening up your creative options.
Self Lubricating Bushings
The amount of oil required to care for an APQS machine is a fraction of what other quilting machines need, making maintenance simple and easy.
Quiet, Enclosed DC Motor
APQS combines technology with sleek design to give you a beautiful machine with the horsepower you need. Our integrated electronics and motor are tucked away behind the clean lines of our machines.
Variable Needle Speed
Different types of quilting require an increase in needle speed to match the complexity of the design. A touch of the button gives you the control you need without having to navigate a series of menus. APQS has the fastest needle speed in the industry at 0-3500 stitches per minute.
Auto Needle Positioner
When you come to a halt, your APQS machine will not stop partially in the fabric; it will either stop in the full-up or full-down position depending on your preference.
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.
