APQS Ellie 18 Longarm Quilting Machine with Halo Table
Ellie offers the power, precision, and quality you expect from APQS in a compact footprint. With 18 inches of throat space, state-of-the-art stitch regulation, and two table options, Ellie does it all!
You’ll love Ellie's built-in LED lights, quick-change hopping foot, and simple controls that make quilting fun and easy. PLUS, you'll have peace-of-mind knowing that your APQS longarm is built to last and backed by the unbeatable APQS Lifetime Warranty.
Ellie comes standard on the Halo Table--an adjustable-height, hoop-style frame that allows you to quilt even the largest quilts in a smaller space. The Halo Table includes smooth-rolling casters so you can move the machine with ease and a pick-up roller that makes it even easier to quilt smaller projects.
For a more traditional yet budget-friendly longarm set-up, Ellie can be upgraded to the Standard Table.
