zandersgranny3 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Doing a panto on a customer's quilt and the lines are crooked. Starts out fine at the first of line but by the end is going crooked. Pattern and laser light have not been moved still in the same position. Is this a quilt problem or am I doing something wrong? Never had this problem on my Gammill. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Two things come to mind that can cause this; first off check your leaders. Make sure that they are square and even down the length. Over time they can get stretched and warpped, which can cause your quilt to advance unevenly. Also your quilt may not be perfectly square, the smallest amount can cause your line to change as you advance your quilt. I always check my pattern line at both ends and the center (numerous places) each time I advance to quilt the next row. If I am off the slightest amount I pin the quilt to line it up. I have yet to find that perfectly square quilt, some have came close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandersgranny3 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks for your answer. Check the quilt several places and my laser light and pattern looks straight. Then when I sew across it comes out slanted not straight. Will check my leaders and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
