With the Millennium you'll be ready to complete projects sooner and 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.  The Automatic Stitch Regulator will reduce your practice time significantly and get you off to a good start with perfect stitches every time.  With a throat space of 26" x 10 1/2" and 23 square feet of quiltilng capacity without advancing the fabric, along with needle positioner (2-stage), lower thread cutter, channel locks, single-stitch feature and much more, the Millennium is our finest machine with everything you need to excel.

The Liberty offers many of the same features as the Millennium including the Automatic Stitch Regulator but in a smaller size and with a bit lower price.  With a throat size of 20" x 8", this machine includes two-stage needle positioner, single-stitch function and built-in-laser to allow for the same quality quilting as the Millennium.  The lightweight Liberty, at only 37 pounds, is a terrific machine for precision quilting with perfect stitches every time.

The Freedom, like the Millennium, performs with the skill and grace of a ballet dancer.  You get the same 26" x 10 1/2" throat space and 23 square feet of quilting capacity without advancing the fabric.  Plus, you can easily change the needle position from up to down.  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.

The Discovery is a terrific freehand machine for the home hobbiest or the quilt artist.  It is among the lightest of the APQS line to allow for effortless control and precision.  It is perfect for art quilts with beautiful, intricate detail.  Like all APQS machines, the Discovery is powered by a quiet covered DC motor and utilizes a hopping foot.  The Discovery weighs 37 pounds and has a 20" x 8" throat space.  The Discovery is available with the universal metal table that is used for all other APQS models.  This machine can be built to your specifications.  The Discovery is a fast, affordable way to move into professional longarm machine quilting without sacrificing APQS quality.

Lenni (Millennium's Baby Sister!)

$14,000

Lenni is derived from the name Millennium it is a smaller, more economical version of the longarm machine it is named after.  Although the two models share many similar features, there is one major difference.  While most longarm machines cost between $14,000 and $18,000, the Lenni sells for only $9,900!  A little smaller than the Millennium, the 34 pound Lenni sits on a 10 foot table that can eaisly be disassembled and stored in 5 foot sections.  It's 20" x 8" throat space equals that of the more expensive Discovery, Liberty and George machines.  Lenni is the first stitch-regulated longarm machine to retail at such a low price.  Lenni also comes with a 3 year warranty, a single-stitch function, two-stage automatic needle positioner and a built-in laser light.  It is an impressive machine for an extraordinary price!
