Machine Maintenance

In this video you'll learn how to make a hook collar adjustment. As the hook collar rotates it rubs on a bushing that's coming through the front end of the gearbox. Over time, air space can get behind that collar which then allows your hook assembly to move front to back.

While APQS quilting machines rarely require timing, if a needle jam occurs you may need to give some TLC to your hook assembly and re-set it. This introduction will help you locate the best tools for the task, making the timing process simple and straight forward. Be sure to watch the entire timing series on the APQS Quilting Channel, along with other great videos to build your knowledge and expertise.

Clean and maintain your APQS quilting machine bobbin case regularly for optimum performance. Learn how to remove lint and properly insert the bobbin brake spring.

Quilters call our service department and comment that their machine is "dead" and won't turn on!
