Warranty

We believe that we have designed and are manufacturing the best long arm quilting machine available. 

 

As you unpack your machine, be sure to keep the box and packing materials designed to 

protect the machine during shipping.  Should it become necessary for you to return the 

machine for warranty work, please call us for specific instructions for packing and shipping 

your machine.

•  Your Apprentice Plus has a full labor warranty for one year from the day you receive your machine.  

We guarantee the machine parts for five years.

•  The machine must be cleaned and oiled regularly according to the instructions in this manual.  Failure 

to properly maintain the machine will void this warranty.

•  Your Apprentice Plus must be plugged into a surge protected electrical outlet.  We highly recommend 

using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) also known as a Battery Backup.  This helps to ensure 

that you are getting a regulated 110 volts into your machine. See photo below of UPS Battery 

Backup.

•  Should we mutually decide that your machine cannot be repaired using normal communications we 

will arrange for machine to be returned to the factory.

Be sure to register your warranty on the TinLizzie18 website.

Should You Have a Problem

Please contact your selling dealership as they are also your servicing dealership. If your dealership is
