InesR Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Well, it has been a week since we made the 18 hr drive to Des Moines and back home in one day. I knew the shine would come back on. ") Boy is it different! moving the machine versus moving fabric. It wasn't going so well last night. A lot of drag, thought of all of you guys and bravely turned the top tension (yes, I come from the generation when our mothers taught us to Never...Ever... mess with tension) and it helped some, still heavy to push/pull. Off the fabric he glides. Tired and went to bed. This morning thought I would give another try! Still dragging, loosened the brake, Bam, success! Learning curve, the brake was loose enough without sandwich/stitching, but with it must have been just enough to hold it up with my sandwich. Thanks to everyone out here who posts a problem and to those who answer. It gives us confidence to touch buttons and turn knobs ") Lenni is gliding!!

kkey1030 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Everytime you turn your Lenni on and play with it, you will learn something. The more you play, the better you'll get. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyqltr Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 What is the brake? I am getting a Lenni and never heard of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's the clamp that holds the roller position. The old machines had a ratchet system to hold the rollers. A lot of other manufactures still use them. APQS replaced ratchets with "brakes" sometime back. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
