Each quilting machine is adjusted and thoroughly tested before being shipped from the factory. In the event that the
machine does not function properly, please check the following:
The needle must be properly inserted into the machine. The needle should be straight with the scarf facing toward the
back of the machine. The long groove down the edge of the needle should be toward the front of the machine.
For best results while stitching, a use a sharp needle. A dull or blunt needle will make a popping noise as it enters the
fabric and should be replaced immediately. Also check the needle for any burrs which may be cutting the thread. We
discourage using titanium-coated needles in your APQS machine. If a titanium needle breaks, more severe damage to
your quilt and hook assembly can occur (compared to steel needles.)
