Farmland Quilter Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 So I started a new thread with fresh questions. On APQS Millenium, I can remove the thread cutter. But then I would need to purchase a new base extender as mine came with Hartley Fence? Which other ones would you recommend so I can price them? Then I need to drill a hole in it or something to get the camera close enough?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Cheryl I don't have an APQS so I don't know if this would work for you, but couldn't the bobbin camera be installed on the other side? Not the side with the thread cutter? On my machine I have a bobbin camera installed on each side of the machine head and I have run the wires under my machine and out the back ... taped them down with painters tape on the underside. Just curious if this would work on the APQS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Kuhlman Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was thinking about taking my thread cutter off also, but dont want to buy the base and all that again, there has to be another way for this to work for us, or I will have to sell my cameras. does ony one know where I can buy that very heavy velcro that came with the cameras.

Ace hardware and walmart (in my area) both carry industrial strength velcro (and it IS industrial strength)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micajah Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Is there anyway you could take your ruler base to a local glass cutter/plexiglass store/installer, not sure what they are called, but maybe they would be able to make you one from plexiglass using yours as a pattern..just thinking out loud....The one for my Innova is clear plexiglass and the camera works fine with it on.

Zora Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have a Millenium with a thread cutter. I didn't have to take anything off in order to mount the camera. And, I use the Hartley base extender all the time, taking it on and off often. I mounted the camera on the bracket that came with it, and velcroed it to the bottom of the machine. The bracket goes across the machine bottom at a right angle and the camera extends out to the left side, focusing up through the base extender. Send me a U to U with your email and I can maybe send you a picture of it mounted. I am not very camera/computer literate, so waiting for me to learn how to post on the forum will take forever.

RoseCity Quilter Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Like Lynn I did not need to take off my thread cutter, nor would I even consider doing so. I mounted the camera on the left side of the thread cutter covering and like it there just fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
