Hello mam i am in India
Hi there - thanks for reaching out!
Can someone please provide a bobbin tension target range with a Towa gauge?
Hi there - thanks for reaching out. Your bobbin case tension should be between 190 and 220 mN. We have a blog post by APQS retailer Julia Graves that goes in-depth on how she uses the TOWA gauge. You can read the blog post here: bit.ly/3S4sAkS
@APQSQuilting thank you!
I don’t want to use water in my iron … is it acceptable to use a spray bottle to spritz instead of steam? Thanks! 🧵
Hi there - thanks for reaching out! Sometimes water has the tendency warp the edges of the quilt as the dry iron dries the spritz. Steam or a starch alternative will define the fold more effectively. We love the LauraStar steam iron system for facing quilts!
@@APQSQuilting Thank you, Anne 🧵
@@annebettencourt9587 You're welcome!
Great comments!
Love Karlie
I hate to tell you but my Ultimate II has rhe hole in the front to adjust for needle depth but there is no screw. Would like to send a picture.
Hi there - thanks for reaching out. Our service team would be happy to help resolve this issue. You can give them a call at: 800.426.7233.
Wonderful detailed instructions and tips. Great camera angle!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Absolutely!
Stunning background quilting! Thank you for breaking it down for us.
Thanks for your kind words!
This looks amazing!
@@carrissarenninger4835 Thanks! Please share pics if you end up using it on your next quilt!
If I tried this for sure my square would not match up with my points….I used to be good at math but with quilting I seem to have no brain for numbers…. I love what you showed us. This newbie is mucho impressed! 💕
Thanks, Mickey! The blog section on our website is a great resource for new longarm quilters. You can learn more here: bit.ly/3Q9ZmO5
Thanks , This helps me a lot with my tension . love your videos
That's great to hear! Which longarm quilting machine do you have?
I agree with all the comments .. angle the camera so we can see what you’re doing.
I have watched so many demo and this is by far the best! Thank you ❤
That's great to hear! :)
Congratulations!🎉😊
Congrats!! How exciting. I have tried 13 times. You are so lucky!
Wishing you best of luck next time!
Congratulations welcome to the Apqs family such a dream come true
Love this ...best explanation on tension...just wish my Eclipse quilting machine could reset the tension knob .
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. You won my dream setup! 😊
We hope your dream comes true some day. :)
@@APQSQuiltingI do too! I’m willing to donate my new couch so I have room for it.
Congratulations!! 🎉
Congrats Heidi! A dream come true! Have fun playing with your new toy!
Thanks for your kind words!
Congratulations ❤❤ what a dream come true
Is it hand-operated or semi -automatic or fully automatic ?
My stitches look kinda like a very slight lightening bolt. Not like yours, that are really straight. Yours looks so good, even though you say they’re not just right. What could be the problem?
I bet the winner will be so excited.
Can Ellie be used on a larger Frame and can it be fitted with an Automation system, if so which one?
I think Ellie needs to come to my house.
I really like 3 of them
Wonderful! Which three are your favorite?
I would gladly trade in my APQS George for a down payment on this set. I love my George, this just does everything I have wanted my machine to do
Congratulations ❤ so exciting I wish I could win ❤
I’d be the first Massachusetts person to win!! probably not going to win it but if I did? I would be so grateful and blessed And I pry that everyone who wants a long arm and frame gets one one day ❤
Congratulations ❤
I need this so badly been quilting for 3 years, and I’m a stay at home mom that lives in a very small home and this setup is perfect ❤
We hope you're able to become an Ellie owner very soon!
Congratulations ❤❤ I can’t wait to see who wins! I’m hoping and praying 🙏 for the Ellie for myself but if I don’t I’m happy for who ever wins
Thanks for your kind words!
❤ I am praying 🙏 for the Ellie
Oh yes I’ve entered and I am looking for 4 leaf clovers to improve my luck!!
Still Dreaming of Ellie. She sure has my interest, Lifetime Warranty that is a amazing. I am curious, what if any Automation would she be able to be connected to?
Hi there - thanks for reaching out. A computerized system isn't compatible with the Ellie. We hope to welcome you to the APQS family very soon!
Wow much better than what I have or expected 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Thank you!!
My dream machine
We hope your dream comes true! Have you entered our Quilt Forever giveaway for a chance to win an APQS Ellie?
Thanks.
WOW!! Such vibrant colors!❤
Right?! Such a fun and beautiful quilt. :)
I like Dave's Splish Splash.
It's a fun pantograph!
Thanks especially for that tip about quilts with E2E as opposed to quilts with say free motion feathers. I would’ve walked right into that one.
Absolutely! We're glad to hear you learned something new. :)
Great presentation
What would be the point of even offering a small bobbin? I don't understand.
Hi there - thanks for reaching out. You can learn more about the APQS Millie and bobbin sizing here: bit.ly/3EL2QmC
