aprilquilts Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi there, I am trying to quilt with my used Ultimate machine, and I love it, but periodically, it sticks. I'm thinking the coiled cord is getting stuck. Are there any tips or tricks to deal with this? Thanks so much! April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 April, i'd be happy to send you a pic of what my husband did with my cord, and it's not coiled, but will give you a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The coiled cords were on the first Millenniums also. They did not prove very successful. I have changed several to the regular cord. On the ULT I you have to open it up to replace the cord as the cord is not detachable. We stock the straight cord for the Millenniums.

pfrost Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 April, I changed out my curly cord with an extra cord from a PC. The connections fit perfectly. I also asked a tech at APQS whether or not this would be a problem & the tech didn't think it would. So if you have a PC power cord around, use it! Easy fix!

John Mitchell Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The Millennium uses a plug in cord just like a PC cord but the one on the Millennium has larger wire. The PC cord does not have as high current rating as the cord on a Millennium. The Ult I has a hard wired cord with a ground lug and spade lugs. Different connections.

aprilquilts Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Are you saying the straight cord isn't an option for me? A friend of mine has a lot of experience with APQS machines. Is this something that she could help me with? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
