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.

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!

Designed and constructed in a way to provide precise machine timing for sewing in all directions. Ask any APQS owner and they will tell you that timing or re-timing is almost non-existent. In addition, “belt drive technology” requires no lubrication, is quieter in 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.
