Gammill plus optimum sewing table for sale
RunningThreads replied to a topic in For sale - Global Used Quilting Machines
Or contact info. -
Mag collar is how the machine knows to stop at the correct needle up or down position. If it is not properly adjusted you will have problems pulling up the bobbin thread. Nigel

This is the on board bobbin winder. Flip the lever on the black box down and it will shut off.

Jim I think it is not that you cannot fit an IQ to a vertical wheel machine but they don’t have a kit for an APQS machine with vertical wheels. Seems to me your Gammill has vertical wheels and I bet there is a kit for it. I’m sure with your skills you could make the brackets if you spent enough time looking at some other installations.

Bobbin thread won't pull up!

Thanks for letting us know Linda. Nigel -
Bobbin thread won't pull up!
RunningThreads replied to luluinstm's topic in Ask The Expert - Thread, Needle, Bobbins
The number one reason is the needle is in backwards. Two would be you hit a bad seam or your ruler and the timing is off. Third I would check the hook doesn’t have any fore and aft play, to check this take out the bobbin case put your first two fingers behind the hook and your thumb on the centre post and pull and push. There should be no play if there is you loosen the Allen screw on the collar pull the hook forward, push the collar back and tighten the screw. Please let us know how you make out as it may help the next person. Nigel -
2018 Lenni require a hopping.....
RunningThreads replied to Mwrubles's topic in Lenni and Lucey Quilting Machines
If the side of you foot has a similar profile to this one you will be fine. You will need an extended base if you don’t already have one. https://shop.apqs.com/products/product-2459-18-true-1-4-inch-platform-ruler-foot-george-machines.asp Nigel -

UPS for Millie
RunningThreads replied to Hthomas's topic in Millennium and Freedom Quilting Machines
This thread from about six years ago will give you a starting point. Pay attention to the info Cagey got from APQS and their suggestions. https://forum.apqs.com/topic/41689-surge-protectors/#comment-542223. I don’t know if the factory has an up to date list of recommended units. Nigel -
How to add letters on Millie
RunningThreads replied to Anne Hall's topic in Ask The Expert - How Should I Quilt This...?
There is a pattern for Intelliquilter https://itsaquiltthing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5129. I don’t know what formats Quilt Path will work with. I suspect there is something out there that will work for what you want to do. If you find what you want make sure you post back, it may help someone else. Nigel -

Timing Belt Adjustment?
RunningThreads replied to quiltstitcher's topic in Maintenance Questions (cleaning rails included)
Here is the link to timing your machine. It is unlikely you have to touch the belt as it rarely jumps a tooth. https://www.apqs.com/timing-apqs-machine-video/ -
This topic comes up from time to time. Here is a good thread on the subject. Cagey’s info from APQS is quite helpful. https://forum.apqs.com/topic/41689-surge-protectors/#comment-542223 Nigel

I didn’t realize that is what you meant. From the picture it looks like a piece wire insulation that would be used to protect from heat or chafing. I have no idea where it came from though but I’m sure it didn’t come out of the brush holder. Did you unplug any wire when you took the covers off? It could have slipped off one of those wires but I’m just guessing. Nigel
