pumpkinpatchquilter Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 This might be a dumb question - but I didn't see a belt in the "order parts" section - where can I get a new belt for my APQS Ultimate 1?? I'm going to call here in a moment if no one pipes up...I changed the motor brushes for the first time a few months ago and it is acting funny again so I opened it up to make sure the spring was pushing the brushes down right and when I went to put it back together - I snapped the belt in half! UGH!!! I am kind of hoping this might be something I can pick up at the hardware store! LOL I have a quilt that was supposed to be done days ago!

dbams Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Sorry I can't answer your question, but there is so much spam being posted right now, your post might not get seen by many people. You may want to call sooner, rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitepinesquilter Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I don't think they're hard to come by. Mine was replaced just before I bought the machine, and shortly after I bought it I added the I/S which uses a different motor altogether. Glad I could help. And, no, it hasn't arrived yet, but still watching for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSCN4693 by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr I did call up to APQS but the lady who answered said there weren't a lot of folks in the office so I left a messge for Amy.

RunningThreads Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Valerie That belt can be purchased at your local sewing machine repair place. I think the number is 2L160. You could of had mine but Marci's will get there quicker. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitepinesquilter Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I can hardly believe it took almost a week to get to you!! From IA to OH... crazy. And it didn't even weigh half an ounce. Very glad to got to you, though! Hope you're quilting away happily now and catching up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
