For years longarm quilters have been trying to make detail quilting easier to do without sacrificing the benefits of stitch regulation. APQS has found a way! The Quilt Glide gives you the slick, fluid motion you like when stitching in manual mode, but at the same time keeps the stitch regulator engaged to give you consistent stitches even when moving slowly for detail quilting.

The Quilt Glide feature combines manual sewing mode and stitch regulation mode together to give you accuracy and consistency without that “jerky” feeling that can happen when trying to do detail quilting in regulator mode alone.

In normal stitch-regulated mode, your APQS quilting machine stops sewing the second you stop moving the machine. This great feature gives you time to “think ahead” as you create designs, and even allows you to move your feet without losing your place as you quilt. For designs that involve frequent stops and direction changes like detail stitching, however, quilters want to feel no hesitation as they make those quick, tiny motions. That’s where the new Quilt Glide comes in! When engaged, the Quilt Glide keeps the needle moving up and down in stitch regulation mode, even when you stop moving the quilting machine. Since the needle continues to stitch when the Quilt Glide is on, you’ll feel like you’re gliding through your design like smooth pen strokes. The Quilt Glide can be adjusted to suit every quilting style—whether you want the needle to cycle frequently when changing directions or to move very slowly. Or, you can turn off the Quilt Glide completely and return to normal stitch regulation mode with the flip of a switch. QuiltGlide2 (Custom).jpg - 47780 Bytes

Introduced on January 1, 2009, the Quilt Glide is available on new Millennium and Freedom SR models for only $1250! The Quilt Glide can also be retrofit to any 2008 Millennium model (contact Katydids for more information).
