Ergo-Lift Hydraulic Lifting System
A1 Quilting Machines is proud to be the innovator of the Ergo-Lift, our remote-controlled hydraulic lifting system. We take pride in providing quilters with features that make their quilting day easier. Ergo-Lift raises and lowers the table to match your comfort level and anyone else who uses it! You can even adjust the table height on the fly. Go ahead, get comfortable!
Other companies have followed our lead with similar features, we remain the first.
Ergo-Grip - Ergonomically Adjustable Handles
Remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Longarm handles have long been a parody of this tale. Too high, too low, too straight, not straight enough and so on… With Ergo Grip handles you can have it your way everyday. A1 Quilting Machines offers you the only fully multi-positioning handles on the market. You can even position one going upward and one going downward. Your choice, your comfort! Stippling is never a problem-just position your handles all the way downward toward the needle. Amazing! No more wrist, hand or shoulder strain!
Stitch Rite Stitch Regulator
*Stitch Rite stitch regulator is a revolution in stitching power. Our Needle Positioner not only stops needle up or needle down, it can be set to take a whole or half stitch! Go from basting stitch to 15 SPI with the easy turn of the conveniently located controls. We know we have many levels of quilters so we have 3 regulated stitch modes: Normal SR, Cruise SR, Baste and there is always the variable Constant speed mode as well. Our stitch regulator is designed to satisfy even the most discriminate quilter from either the front or back of the machine. By the way, we didn’t forget the laser light. It is built into both front and rear panels and is light ‘intensity’ adjustable. *Standard on all packages except the ‘Beginnings Package’. (Needle Positioner only)
Tracknology Wheel and Track System
Superior Smooth Wheels designed for those who demand the best wheel system. We know wheel and track systems can be the difference between just another quilt and a Blue Ribbon quilt! We use annodized steel, one piece tracking for both our rails and carriage allowing a smooth passing for precison quilting. Our revolutionary wheel and track design keeps you running smoothly, allowing your to place your stitches exactly where you want them all the time, not just some of the time. No wobbles ever! By the way, there is NEVER a transfer of residue to your quilt with our system!
Electronics Plug and Go
Thread Lubricator
Running thread is our business! If you can’t use the threads you like, you’ll go somewhere else. Our nifty thread lubricator will let you run even the ‘fussy’ Metallics, Slivers & Rainbows. Get out those embroidery threads too! Go ahead, buy all the pretty threads, we can handle them.
Upgradeable
We are always keeping our eye on tomorrow. Did you know that all A1 Quilting Machine packages are factory ready to accept the computerized quilt system, CompuQuilter? If computerized quilting is where you want to be, just let us know. We have specialty cross-trained dealers to help you.
