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.

Jim, Patty Butcher https://www.katydids.net/index.html is both an APQS and Intelliquilter dealer. Other than Myrna Ficken we hardly see any dealers on this site anymore. Actually all the forums I belong to seem to be dying out. I don’t do Facebook but I hear those groups are still very strong.

Thanks for letting us know Linda.

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.

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

Donna, click on the seller’s screen name and then you will see a message icon, click on that and the message will go to their email. The seller hasn’t been on the site for over a month.

Contact info and location would probably help with your sale.

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.

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.

Do a search for circuit board repair and maybe you will find someone near you.

https://www.whirlsnswirlsquilting.ca/collections/machine-accessories In Whitby, Ontario has Red Snappers if that is what you are looking for.

I agree Kim but it looks like it has quilt glide. Maybe the seller has them mixed up.

Here is the link to timing your machine. It is unlikely you have to touch the belt as it rarely jumps a tooth.

This topic comes up from time to time. Here is a good thread on the subject. Cagey’s info from APQS is quite helpful.

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.
