Hi everyone!
Have you checked out our APQS machines yet? Can’t wait to hear what you think of our new additions!
Last post I introduced you to the three smallest APQS longarms: Ellie, Larry and Lenni. This post we’ll move on to the bigger members of the family: Lucey, Freddie, Millie and Millie30.
Meet Lucey
APQS longarm quilting machines are known for being easy to use and simple to operate. That’s how they’re designed, engineered and crafted. And quilting with Lucey proves it!
Lucey offers the 26-inch throat space of the top-of-the-line APQS machines, making it an exceptional value. Standard features include multi-position front and rear handles, stitch regulation, LED lighting with black light, a laser light stylus, an L-size bobbin, and a bobbin winder.
Optional features include the Quilt Path™ computerized quilting system and an M-size bobbin.
Lucey sits on the 8-, 10- or 12-foot Standard Bliss Table. An optional upgrade to the 8-, 10-, 12- or 14-foot Deluxe Bliss Table is available. If upgrading to the Deluxe Bliss Table, you can also add the hydraulic table lift feature, the Automatic Quilt Advance feature and overhead lighting.
See our website for more details on Lucey.
Meet Freddie
Freddie also offers a 26-inch throat space but with additional features. Touch pad controls, a low bobbin indicator and a top thread break sensor make your longarm quilting even easier! Other standard features include multi-position front and rear handles, stitch regulation, LED lighting with black light, a laser light stylus, an L-size bobbin, and a bobbin winder.
Optional features include the Quilt Path™ computerized quilting system, the Quilt Glide Stitch Mode providing a manual sewing mode, and an M-size bobbin.
Freddie sits on the 8-, 10-, 12- or 14-foot Deluxe Bliss Table. Optional upgrades include the hydraulic table lift feature, the Automatic Quilt Advance feature and overhead lighting.
See our website for more details on Freddie.
Meet Millie
Millie is the top-of-the-line APQS machine! In addition to offering a 26” throat space and all the standard features of Freddie, Millie adds a lower bobbin thread cutter plus both horizontal and vertical directional locks for straight line quilting.
Optional features include the Quilt Path™ computerized quilting system, the Quilt Glide Stitch Mode providing a manual sewing mode, and an M-size bobbin.
Millie also sits on the 8-, 10-, 12- or 14-foot Deluxe Bliss Table. Optional upgrades include the hydraulic table lift feature, the Automatic Quilt Advance feature and overhead lighting.
See our website for more details on Millie.
Meet Millie30
Millie30 has all the same features as Millie plus four extra inches of throat space. This 30-inch throat space allows you to complete quilts even faster and incorporate even bigger design elements.
Millie30 also shares the same table options as Millie.
