PamelaG Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Near the end of a project. The pattern started to degrade. Turned everything off and tried on another spot. Still messed up. Finally my head wouldn't come all the way forward, so I started investigating, The back clamp lost a screw. It wobbles now and I suspect this is the problem. Millennium 2017, Bliss track, Quilt Path. Question, do I need to remove the head t fix this I suspect? And should I check for anything else? Pamela G. Tucson, AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PamelaG Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's a screw that holds the back red clamp for Quilt Path. It attaches to the underside of the head between the head and the carriage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bttyboopette Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I had to move my clamp and to do so had to take the head off the table and turn it over. that's the only way to get to those screws...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 There are some offset screwdrivers that will reach that screw but most of the time, it's best to just remove the head and reattach that bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Pamela; If you can get the screw in with your fingers, you may be able to use a screw driver with a 90 degree bend to tighten it without removing the machine head. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-3-Piece-Offset-Screwdriver-Set/1067965 If the 90 degree bend is too long to fit in the space, you could also try using a philips apex bit and hold it with a pair of needle nose pliers to get the screw tight. Hopefully you can get the screw in without removing the head from the table. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaG Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Tried to use a short screw driver, no luck. Ended up taking the head off and fixing it. The other screw was loose too, so glad I did. Now just trying to update my tablet, and reload the drivers . My Quilt Path wouldn't set safe zones, so am trying that.
