aleksich Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 It has been awhile since I have been on:) My Ult. 1 quit working about a year ago. Working with Amy, she sent parts, I put on, no changes. Almost all parts have been replaced on the machine. Hired someone to come out, still could not figure it out. Called every machine tech in the Portland metro area, some tried, still no luck. Called UPS for shipping charges, quoted at $1000 to $1500. So I thought just pack her in the car and road trip this summer , talk with Mark when he was in Salem, Oregon. He told me it would only be about $60-$100 for shipping, WOO HOO, called service department and got a box shipped to me and got a spa date. Shipped her off, scary day for mom, Amy figured it out, a short in the wiring in the handles from the previous owner. She, I have not named her yet , will be home this coming Thursday, and I am back in business. Thank goodness I only quilt for myself for the most part. I have only lost one customer on a short term leave. As soon as my machine is back, so is she. I already have 4 quilts lined up for next week for customers and 56 quilt tops of my own. You can guess what I have been doing for the last year . The customer service on APQS machines is FANTASTIC, I can not say enough good about the company. Love my machine and will be back practicing again and will be right back in the swing of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Lynn, I am so glad that everything got figured out!! And with a short somewhere, the best place for repair and recuperation is the factory - and the wonderful techs there. That's something we have a hard time tracking down in the field.

Marti10245 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm glad you are up and running Lynn. I think the world of the APQS tech team. I have called them and they have always helped me over the phone figure out what was wrong with my Millie. I am also very blessed to live close to Joyce Coburn she is such a great help also .
