Features of the APQS Tilly Longarm Quilting Machine

Tilly is the first APQS longarm powered by Genesis™ Technology. Two precision digital motors replace the traditional mechanical drive system, giving you a smoother, quieter, better-balanced machine that is perfect for home studios and shared spaces.

Every time you power Tilly on, she automatically syncs and calibrates herself. And if her timing ever shifts — even after a needle break — she self-corrects. It is an industry first, exclusive to Genesis™ Technology. Say goodbye to timing worries forever!

Tilly's digital motors deliver precise, responsive stitch regulation at up to 3,170 stitches per minute. You get beautiful, even stitches whether you are cruising through a pantograph or slowing way down for fine detail work.

All of Tilly's controls live on a bright, easy-to-read 5-inch full-color touchscreen, right where you need it. Adjust your stitching modes, speed, and settings with a tap.

Tilly connects straight to your phone. Diagnostics, your digital manual, training videos, and even remote service from the APQS team — support lives right in your pocket, 24/7, for the life of your machine.

A single-dot needle laser shows you exactly where your needle will land. It is perfect for lining up designs, stitching in the ditch, and hitting your marks with confidence.

Tilly's smaller top arm and open head design give you an unobstructed view of your full quilting area — you can even see through to the back take-up roller. Less craning your neck, more perfect placement.

Bright, clear, dimmable lighting increases accuracy, and the built-in black light helps you see your stitching on light and white fabrics with the flip of a switch.

Tilly's programmable, regulated basting stitch lets you baste a quilt in a flash. Set your stitch length and go — perfect for basting quilts for hand quilting friends or securing edges as you work.

With improved balance and front handles tucked neatly into the top tube, Tilly gives you incredible control for micro-stippling, pebbles, and fine heirloom detail work.

Run your thread from the standard front position, or move it to the rear position — your choice, depending on how you like to quilt.

Tilly's accessible front cover design makes oiling and routine care easier than ever. And with our on-staff factory certified techs, the Quilt Fairies have you covered for anything bigger.

Dreaming of computerized quilting? Tilly is compatible with Quilt Path Pro and Quilt Path Essentials right out of the box. Add it now or add it later — Tilly is ready when you are.

Tilly comes on your choice of the Deluxe Bliss table ($29,400) or the Comfort Bliss table with hydraulic height adjustment ($31,000), in 8, 10, 12, or 14 foot lengths. Any length, same price.

Your Tilly is protected by the industry leading APQS lifetime warranty covering parts AND labor, plus 24/7 lifetime customer support by phone and through the APQS app. Protect your investment for life.

Your longarm education is just as important to us as your machine. Every Tilly purchased from Quilted Joy includes a FREE online beginner class — plus our 2 For 2 program, the Pixie Playdate, and the Quilt Fairy Help Desk to keep you soaring.
