apqsqm Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have a 2003 millennium & I'm thinking of adding a lower thread cutter & automatic fabric advance. Does anyone know what these two upgrades would cost. Thank you. Donna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi Donna: Automatic fabric advance is $1350.00. You would need to check with APQS service to see if a thread cutter can be added to your machine. Thread cutters have been standard on Millenniums for several years. They can tell you if your model has the electronics needed. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue E. Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Donna, I love my automatic fabric advance but I never use my lower thread cutter. I find I don't like the thread tails that are left that I need to deal with. I find it easier to just pull the threads to the top and deal with them there.

ffq-lar Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 With so many machines for sale lately, and the used machines from APQS, you might want to wait for one with the options you need and then sell yours. My 2004 Millie came with the thread cutter and the power advance. I use the thread cutter quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I removed my thread cutter a few months after I bought my Millie, less weight and like Sue, I find it easier to pull the thread to the top to tie the knot & bury the tails or backtrack. Fabric advance is a must, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
