Beachgal, I sent you a private message

I purchased one from Dave jones in February and can tell you it was a GREAT investment. I was not able to afford either of the two leaders in computerization, so I looked at the Butler. I was never a great freehand quilter, so this tool has given me great consistency when doing multiple blocks, plus has allowed me to semi-custom quilts with designs I would never have attempted either freehand or stencil! I never thought I would use it for pantos, boy was I wrong! That is one of the best uses as it allows me to be piecing my own quilts no catching up on all my UFOs. My customers have been pleased with the results because most use all over patterns and my turnaround time has gotten shorter. Plus it is just fun creating and designing! Feel free to email me at lahufford@me.com if you have more questions, Lori

I am a fairly new to long arm quilting and am having lots of fun while learning the nuances of my machine! One problem I had on my last quily was very small loops of thread on the bottom, but not all over. The loops seem to be random and it is not enough to cause a broken thread or a mess with the bobbin thread. In fact, my husband did not even notice them until I pointed them out. Is this a tension problem, a speed problem or maybe a dull needle? Any help would be appreciated!
