With the least instruction I'd be able to DIY some maintenance and that ability sounds very attractive to me, particularly on these high dollar machines. Thanks, Scott
I have an APQS Lucey which I have had for about 8 years now....and APQS makes other models....mine is on the more basic end but she still has a 26 inch throat, stitch regulator, needle up and down and was also designed so the owner can do many of the adjustments and replacement if needed themselves. I basically have had not to do anything other than regular oiling and cleaning. I was trying to decide between Innova and APQS but went with the AOQS when they had a demo sale too good to pass up. APQS also has several videos and are available by phone also. I have had a friend who had them listen to her machine over the phone and they helped her correct the problem. So you have a couple of choices here...go online, check out the service videos for both of them.
