  1. Sorry I didn’t see your question earlier. I should be able to help you. What version of Quilt Path are you using and what mode did you set your pantograph up in?
  2. I'll be praying for you Rita, along with the surgeon and other hospital staff. You have always been special to me. When I started on the Forum you were the first to greet me.
  3. If your machine is just experiencing normal wear after lots of use, an APQS Dealer, who has gone through the 4-Day intensive Dealer Maintenance Certification class, should be able to give your machine a Spa Treatment. If you are having electronic issues, a trip to the APQS Service Department might be necessary. A Mini Spa would include a thorough cleaning and sanding off any burrs. It would also include replacing the check spring, pigtails, hook assembly, including the hook finger and timing your machine, motor brushes, wave washers for the thread cutter, and packing fresh grease in the gear box. Call your Dealer. They should have a set price for parts and labor. There will also be a charge for mileage, unless you deliver the machine to their studio. A Deluxe Spa would include the above, plus replacing the needle bar, needle bar bushings and rocker assembly. Your Dealer should have a price for this service also. The price for parts is $150 to $200 more if you have the large M bobbin, and both should be much less than the quote you received from the Service Department.
  4. Many of the APQS Dealers have been trained at the factory to do spa treatments in your home or their studio, depending how involved. They give it a thorough check up and replace parts worn from use. A few examples might be motor brushes, needle bar, rocker arm, hook assembly, re-packing the gear box. A good indicator of what your machine might need would be how many hours it has been used for actual quilting. It may just need a thorough cleaning. In your manual is a maintenance chart you can follow to keep your machine running smooth for years.
  5. What do you prefer, overalls or custom?

  6. Do you charge extra for minkie backs? How about t-shirt top with minkie back?

  7. Sorry! Hope things work out ok. I have a new customer in Boise and mentioned your sale to her.
  8. Love the freehand you did in the white areas! It's stunning! Glad it's yours to keep!
  9. Congratulations and welcome to the APQS family! You're going to have so much fun!

    Kitty looks so comfortable!
  11. Thank you APQS for the privilege of a week in IOWA! Such a privilege being treated like royalty while learning howto accomplish that perfect stitch APQS machines want to deliver!

  12. Wow! You created a very cheerful quilting area! The lights really made a difference!
  13. Does anyone have a pattern for a tartan? We have a Scottish friend who recently had a baby. I want to create a tartan plaid from solid fabrics in his room's colors. Are there patterns or do I need to create one unique to him?

  14. Mary, I bought the queen Swirlz for $225 used and felt I got a good deal. I intentionally skipped the squares and went back and free handed flowers, angels, stars..with matchine glow in the dark thread. The grand kids love to turn the lights off and count the objects.They glow for hours! It's a fun and quick board!
