  1. Queenie123, I have a customer who is considering upgrading to a new Millennium - she has a 2005 Millie on an older table and might be a candidate for you. If you will email me at info@apqsnw.com, I'll make sure she has your info.
  2. Please call the Service Department at Grace Co. for help on this - our machines are not that different, but there may be subtle but critical differences in the hook area. We can give you general suggestions but your machine's manufacturer is the proper source for help.
  3. Don't feel sheepish, Ida!! We've all been there, in one way or another! But I would strongly recommend that you join our We Love APQS fb group - lots of help there, for those "slap your forehead" kind of days!!
  4. Ida, that silver extension fits into the "eye bolt" at one end of your table. There is a separate large bolt that goes through the "eye bolt" on the other end - it screws into the end of the roller that DOESN'T have the silver extension. If you still have your assembly instructions, you can go to the section for adding the rollers - all the info is there. There is also a silver collar that serves as a spacer between the "eye bolt" and the end of the roller, on the screw-in bolt end. You can get more help - and lots of photos - if you visit the We Love APQS Facebook page and ask for help there.
  5. Donna, I am indeed a Rep for APQS, as it says in my "signature block." APQS does sell the tables separately - contact them directly at (800) 426-7233. Less expensive would be to purchase one of the systems with the longer tables and have it cut down by a competent welder. I've had several customers tailor the length of their tables to fit their space. Contact APQS Service for the details.
  6. As I said above, Diana, it's a "secret" group, open only to APQS QP owners and APQS Reps. That keeps out the spam that hits so many groups. Follow the instructions above and we'll get you added.
  7. Diana, I was just going to make the same suggestion made by Betsy - join the QP Facebook group. You can post photos and videos and get immediate help. It's a "secret" group, so you'll have to be added, either by your APQS Dealer or one of the group admins - Angela Hugli Clark, Heidi Patterson or myself. Send one of us a Friend Request, along with a photo of your QP setup, and we'll get you added! In the meantime, check your belt clamps - one of them may have slipped off the belt. And you CAN post photos here - take a look at the bottom of the reply box.
  8. Jill, you might try "dragging" that circle around to see if that will rotate the block, instead of just clicking on it.
  9. I haven't seen a software product to do this specifically, but I would do it the old-fashioned way - print out a photo of my squares, cut them up and move them around, kinda like a puzzle. Once they're in an arrangement that's appealing to me, take another photo, print it and start rearranging my blocks!
  10. There's only one way, Smith, to replace the side panel on the head - otherwise it doesn't fit around the flywheel.
  11. Email me at apqsnw.com and I'll email you the manual I found for the Ult 1. If you're having issues that you can't solve using the manual, don't hesitate to contact APQS Service at service@apqs.com or (800) 426-7255.
  12. If your machine is an Ultimate, you have a real workhorse!! I'll look for a manual and post it here.
  13. Linda, if you'll tell us the serial number of your machine, we can look up the year and get you the proper manual. Or you can join the We Love APQS Facebook group and download the appropriate manual. Email me at info@apqsnw.com and we'll get you going!
  14. Linda, can you use the flywheel to bring the needle back up? It sounds like your needle may be in backwards and is hanging up on the hook.
  15. You may want to measure your table - Lenni has never been offered on a 14-foot table. The only way you would get a table that length is by ordering special and paying a premium for it. Maximum stock size for Lenni has always been 12-foot.
  16. Sunny Quilter, the Bliss upgrade depends on the age of your table - older ones get brand-new rails, newer ones get just the Bliss rod to install in the Bliss-ready rails on the table. All Bliss upgrades include a new (narrow) carriage or axles only for the carriage if you already have the narrow carriage, plus new Lexan table top.
  17. Debra, I am assuming you installed the newer hardware? If so, I am told that you may replace the knob on the left-hand side of the head (as seen from the back) with the laser post. That's what I will do with my new Quilt Path setups in my showroom. Just be sure that the post and it's securing nut are firmly fastened into the head through the plate that holds the belt clamp.
  18. Stephanie, We need to get you on the We Love APQS Facebook page, if you're not already on there. The first thing I'd check is your thread path - I imagine APQS will want to take a closer look at it. They'll get you up and running!!!
  19. Norma, According to records provided by APQS, 02739 was built in 2003.
  20. Debby, you need to talk to APQS Service before purchasing a used Quilt Path. Depending on the age of your Millie, it might need a circuit board that is just not available, making that Quilt Path unusable with your machine.
  21. Debra, It sounds like you may have blown a fuse. First, I'd check that you haven't popped a breaker - plug something that you know works into the plug you have your machine plugged into. If that works, plug your machine in again and check that it still doesn't turn on. There's a document on finding and replacing fuses in the Files Section on the We Love APQS Facebook page. If you're not already a member there, email me at info@apqsnw.com and I'll send it to you.
  22. If possible, post photos of your top thread path, from the cone all the way to the needle, everywhere the thread touches the machine. Looks like the top thread has popped out of the tension assembly or one of the thread guides - or it needs to be tightened a LOT!
  23. Give APQS Service a call, Sheri - even though your machine isn't under warranty, they will still help you figure out what the issue is and how to fix it.
  24. Gigi, I have a customer here in the Seattle area who is looking to sell her Lenni. Email me at info@apqsnw.com and we'll discuss details.
