We use precise encoders tucked into our APQS Freddie 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.

Included!

Replaces half the machine’s wheels with linear ball bearings. Fintertip touch control! 

Our APQS Freddie 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.

The elevated roller on the APQS Freddie means you never have to raise it as the bulk of the quilt grows. And the leveler bar in front keeps your quilt surface level.

Enjoy a manual, horizontal channel lock with the simple twist of knob. Lock out Freddie’s long arm wheels so the machine can only be moved in one direction. This feature is the number one way to keep your quilt top square to the table so you end up with a square quilt!

Ergo handles (front and back, with finger touch button control): Change your grip on Freddie depending on your quilting style while still being able to control the machine even when it is at the back of the table. The APQS Freddie has a big throat, and these handles allow you to control the machine even when you are at the back of the table

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

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

You get a choice of the size bobbin you prefer so your APQS Freddie machine is specifically made to your tastes and style of quilting. The large M bobbin is available for $500 more; just tell me how you want it made at the factory!

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

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 on your APQS Freddie quilter.
