Offering you more than just a quilting machine

What sets APQS apart from other manufacturers is that we offer quilters more than simply a quilting machine. We’re a welcoming group of fun-loving quilters who are dedicated to produce and support longarm machines that help our customers become better quilters.

APQS owners can use our retailer network and online educational tools for added support. APQS is very active on social media and is quick to answer quilting questions and provide tips and tricks. Tap into the collective wisdom of thousands of longarm quilters on the APQS forum.
