alwaysquilts

Up and running!! I was able to finish the quilt I was working on, with no problems. Thanks for all the help!!

It's not the brushes. I fiddled with the belt on the back side a little. It ran for a while then slowed down. Played a bit more with turning the belt and let it run again. Single stitch is working fine. Something isn't connecting somewhere.........will put on a practice piece and see what happens.

Ok, well, I took out the brushes, blew it out and replaced the brushes, now I have nothing other than sound. The needle won't go up or down. Do I need new brushes? They are shorter than 1/2" but not by much........ I also found my manual. Yea!

I was quilting along and suddenly it just slowed down. I was using it in SR mode and my stitches started growing. Then when I stopped, I used the one stitch button and it went part way down and stopped . I could hear the motor noise running so I had to turn the flywheel to get it in a position to stop the grind. It runs slow even if I don't have it in SR mode. I have turned it up to the fastest speed and it runs slow. with this funny noise kind of like a loose belt sound under the top cover. And of course I can't locate my manual!!

I opened the side and there is no thread. Everything looks fine inside. The noise appears to be coming from the top of the machine in the center under the top cover. What is this number 8 screw?

It should've said it's really running slow.

My machine (millie) is sounding strange and running slow. I turned it up to the fastest speed and it's a rely running. The single stitch grinds and I have to then the flywheel for it to implement the cyce.
