Marg Layton Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I would like to add a computerized system to my 2000 Millie, but have been told I would not be able to add the new software that APQS is currently working on. Can I still add a compuquilter to my machine? I can't afford to buy a new Millie as well as the new system, so am wondering if it is still possible to add a compuquilter to my machine. I would appreciate it if Mark or someone else could contact me to discuss this. Do I send my machine back to Iowa to have a compuquilter installed, or does someone come up to Canada to do this from APQS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Gamez Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 i had this same question and contacted compuquilter so I emailed Stan, one of the owners and this is basically what he said: The only difference is looks. APQS puts some of the wires and parts inside the machine head during manufacture. When we retrofit a machine, we put those same parts on the outside of the machine head. We install a little box on the top of the front of the machine that has the buttons used to run CompuQuilter on it. as long as your machine has a needle positioner, which it does, they can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia Wilson Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hi Marg, CQ can be added to your machine, where in Canada are you? The installation *I think* now would be done by a CQ dealer...I do not think APQS does the installations any more...but I'll check on that for you.

egilmore Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 CQ's can still be installed on your APQS system. All installations are done by CompuQuilter techs now. You can go to their websites to locate a dealer near you or call S&D Stitches directly at 479-636-0444. CQ has several people who service Canada :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi Marg, Since your table is sort of a hybrid from days gone by, I was told by Mark that the new QuiltStudio wouldn't work on it, although it would work on your machine, with the loss of some of the "bonus" features that the 2008 Millie head was wired for. Elaine, do you know who does retrofit CQ installations on APQS machines in Canada? Marg is located in Edmonton, Alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egilmore Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm not sure if Megan Best would want to travel that far over in Canada. I'd go straight to S&D and ask who they would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've talked with Heidi and APQS will still do CQ retrofits for customers like Marg. Problem solved! Since she has a table that is sort of a combination of 2 tables, I think it's wise to have an APQS installer do it that's familiar with past variations. JMHO.
