dbams reacted to jimerickson in Backing Fabric with Print not Straight
I sew it the way they bring it to me. That said, typically I pin the selvedge edges of the backing to the leaders so that I know the take-up leader, and the backing leader will be parallel. That mostly avoids cutting flaws. Jim

@IreneBloom I noticed you commented on another George listing. Thought I'd direct you to this one in case you hadn't seen it.

Have you tried vacuuming them. It might help. Jim

dbams reacted to SueD in Suggestions on how to clean leader cloth's
I’ve heard washing makes them shrink a lot. You could probably take them off and leave them outside to see if they will air out. Otherwise you may need to replace them. You could buy from APQS or make your own.
Sorry this happened to you.

Thanks, Jim!
I'll go take a look and see what I can see.
I called APQS and they are sending me another bobbin winder. No telling whether or not it will be the same unit until I receive it. One can only hope not. lol

Great news. No need to feel foolish. Your experience could help someone else!

dbams reacted to Kays Kottage in Tablet won't power on
Thank you for responding. I was finally able to resolve the problem. Apparently just holding down the power button for 30 seconds did the trick. Needless to say I feel a little foolish. I definitely appreciate you trying to help.

Depends on which roller and which end you are looking from. In the following video from APQS at about 1:52 I think you will see what you are looking for.

Andria - you may get more interest if you post more details about your machine. Does it have bliss? Does it include a computer? Does it have auto advance? Are other items included such as thread, ruler templates, or pantographs? You may also want to include photos of the machine.

Hi,
I don't have a Quilt Path so I am unable to offer any suggestions I am afraid. I just wanted to let you know that there is a Quilt Path Facebook group. It is a private group so you will have to ask to join. They would be able to help you.
If your machine won't start either you might want to check to see if the fuse has blown. If you happen to be in Canada your machine will have two fuses.
I hope that you are able to get an answer to your Quilt Path problem and get back to quilting..

dbams reacted to RunningThreads in Sewing Binding on with Long Arm
Good morning Jim.
Youtube is your friend there are at least half a dozen videos. Here is Dawn’s video and we used to do it similar except we would add the binding as we advanced the quilt and also do the final join on the domestic machine to get the mitred seam. It goes very quick once you get the hang of it and if I remember correctly we would charge about ten cents per linear inch but that was also five years ago. Also this is another I found on google. http://www.kimmyquilt.com/applying-binding-with-your-midarm-or-longarm-machine.htm

dbams reacted to RunningThreads in Red Snappers on Standard Frame with Lenni
Helen
I had the same issue with the deluxe table. You need to get the snappers behind the dead bar. We had a couple of lengths of fabric about six inches wide the we would baste to the backer with our domestic machine. Adding six inches to the top edge of the backer allows you to get the snappers behind the dead bar and if you load the top so you start just below the added strip you should have ample backer at the bottom of the quilt. If you use a basting stitch it is easy to pull your strip off when you are done and the you can reuse next time they are needed.
Hope this helps

Try posting on missingfabrics.com. A picture would also help.
Good luck!

Don’t expect a reply. Sharon’s post is almost ten years old. If you click on her screen name you will see she hasn’t been on the forum in over six years.

Look on some of the sewing supply web sites, you'll probably find some. E-bay might have have some as well. Good luck. Jim

dbams reacted to RunningThreads in Bobbin thread unwinding in machine
Thanks Sue. I couldn’t remember. I can tell when I have the case in hand but don’t know how to explain it other than the thread makes a u-turn as it enters the slot in the bobbin case.

Diana,
I was just going to make the same suggestion made by Betsy - join the QP Facebook group. You can post photos and videos and get immediate help. It's a "secret" group, so you'll have to be added, either by your APQS Dealer or one of the group admins - Angela Hugli Clark, Heidi Patterson or myself. Send one of us a Friend Request, along with a photo of your QP setup, and we'll get you added!
In the meantime, check your belt clamps - one of them may have slipped off the belt. And you CAN post photos here - take a look at the bottom of the reply box.
