The ultimate quilting machine.
With the Millennium you’ll be ready
to complete projects faster than you ever
dreamed possible. In addition to the
Automatic Stitch Regulator, all of the optional
features from the rest of our line are built in
as standard features on the Millennium.
Compare design, construction quality, and
features. The Automatic Stitch Regulator will
reduce your practice time significantly and
get you off to a good start with perfect
stitches every time. The throat space of
26" X 10 12⁄ " allows 23 square feet of quilting
capacity without advancing the fabric. The
needle positioner (2-stage), lower thread cutter, channel locks, single-stitch feature and
much more make the Millennium our finest
machine with everything you need to excel.
The quiet fully-enclosed DC motor, synchronous belt drive, multi-positional handles and
low inertia Smart•Bobbin will make quilting
with the Millennium an absolutely enjoyable
experience!

very important when running patterns or
doing other precision quilting.
APQS carefully chose “belt drive technology” as the means of transferring
power to the upper and lower shafts.
Designed and constructed in a way to
provide precise machine timing for
sewing in all directions. Ask any APQS

operation, and reduces vibration.

Experience free-hand freedom.
The Freedom SR, like the Millennium,
includes our Automatic Stitch Regulator which
performs with the skill and grace of a ballet
dancer. You get the same 26" x 10 1/2" throat
space with 23 square feet of quilting capacity
without advancing the fabric. Plus, you can
easily change the needle position from up to
down (2 stage needle positioner). The Freedom
Quilting System uses a similar super quiet fullyenclosed DC motor as the Millennium and
offers the same quiet operation with minimal
vibration.
As with all APQS machines, the Freedom SR
comes standard with high tech features such as
the synchronous belt drive, self-lubricating
bushings and low inertia Smart•Bobbin.
Because the Freedom does not include all of the
Millennium’s standard features, it costs significantly less and can be built with only the
options you choose. That makes it the ideal
value for individual users, small businesses, and
quilting professionals.

By George, it’s a first!
A space-saving stationary APQS machine with a large throat.
George loves the quality and large throat of APQS longarm
machines. But he doesn’t have a lot of room. He was such an
inspiration in creating our new stationary, sit-down machine,
we named it after him.
The generous 20” throat space means you’ll never again have
to struggle with squeezing quilts through a small space. And
when you’re done quilting, George’s table folds down
to occupy just 60” x 23” of space.
