Is it on the tracks correctly? Mine will slip out of the tracks if I push on it too hard.

You should be able to just email them and they will email you a copy.

You are not late, cause it's still not fixed :/ I figured out how to adjust it (the needle needed to be in the DOWN position) I missed that! They recently sent them, I will try moving the needle down a smidge. After going through and adjusting the bobbin, etc for the timing it still won't stitch, so I am hoping moving the needle helps :/

Yes a pin was hit. The needle is inserted correctly. the needle is not down as far as it’s supposed to be according to the video I watched.

I am not having issues with the needle bar, I just need to adjust it per the timing video APQS has put out. The machine is not stitching at all. I think the needle bar needs to be lowered a little bit.

I have an Ultimate 2. It wasn't stitching. So I followed most of the timing video. except for adjusting the needle bar. When I put the flathead screw driver in there, I don't feel anything to "screw". Am I missing something? (Yes the screw driver is long enough, I bought a long one.)

But which one? There’s 3.

Ok. I’m just nervous about buying one and it not fitting. if you want to make me one I won’t complain :p

I’m looking at the base extenders in the website, but I’m not sure which one I would get for the ultimate 2. I’m guessing it would be this one since I don’t have a thread cutter. https://shop.apqs.com/products/product-3000-03-hartley-base-expander-no-thread-cutter.asp

I bought it from APQS and it did NOT come with instructions :/

Great!!! Thanks. I will be ordering from apqs.

Are there instructions somewhere?

What is this part called? i found it (motor belt) Is it tough to replace?

Thanks! No clue how I missed them

I have an ultimate 2, and 3 bobbins. I NEED more. I’m pretty sure they’re L style, the ones in the shop do not look like mine. And when I try to search on amazon I’m not sure they’re right. i have attached a picture of mine. One side is flat and the other has holes. thank you.

I enjoy the forum, but there's just not as much chatter here as on facebook

I had seen your pictures, but wasn't sure where you had gotten them. Thanks

Those were the only ones I could find. I took some pictures of my machine & carriage. I feel like mine looks different than yours. . . Thanks for your help.

These wheels? https://www.edgeriderwheels.com/products-ultimate-1-old.php

Thanks! I’ll definitely check it out!

The only reason I didn't think it would work is because it says this on their webpage " We no longer offer IntelliStitch as an after-market upgrade." I can call them and find out though. How would I find out what kinds of wheels are stock or if they are aftermarket? I was looking through the manual (the one I asked them to email me, not the original one) and it showed a different carriage than the one in the pictures. Thank you!

I tried searching, but most of the posts I got were posts that were for sale. I just got an Ultimate 2 (II). I asked in a long arm group on facebook and they told me to come here! I am so excited to use this machine!! I haven't finished getting it set up yet. (I just got it Saturday). I have used long arms before, (a gammill & an HQ avanté) renting the time at a quilt shop. But I decided when I was able to afford a long arm, I would be getting an APQS, (I really want a millenium) But this is going to be somewhere to start! I was wondering if anyone knows of a stitch regulator I can add to it now? I know intellistitch doesn't do them anymore. Any other suggestions/tips for me? (I know I need to get some sewing machine oil, I think figured out needles, (I found some on amazon). But I cannot think of anything else!)
