The curved handles on the front of APQS machines are ergonomically designed and adjustable to "fit" your individual size and shape. You are not forced to adapt to the machine - it adapts to you. The handles reduce fatigue in the wrist, arms and shoulders. You won't have to work with the combination of raised shoulders, outward bent elbows, and downward bent neck. This minimizes the possibility of musculoskeletal injuries.
 
Our handles are horizontal and adjust up and down to diminish the risk of carpal tunnel, shoulder and elbow problems. They may feel different than upright handles at first, but you'll soon get the hang of them and agree that they are much less stressful on your body.

They let you quilt with your hands as close to the "drawing area" as you prefer. It's a lot like a pencil. You can draw easier and with greater control when you hold a pencil near the point rather than the eraser. At the same time, the handles provide excellent visibility of the quilting area.

Important function controls for the machine are at the end of the comfortable handles, where they are instantly accessible without removing your hands from the handles.

Benefits:

  • Our handles are friendly to your body with areas of precise adjustment to "fit" you.
  • Lasting comfort after long hours of quilting with less fatigue and the reduced possibility of musculoskeletal injuries.
  • Up and down horizontal adjustment helps avoid carpal tunnel, shoulder and elbow injuries while giving you superb visibility.
  • They enable greater control through close proximity to work and effortless access to function buttons.
