    Julia:  You can personal message here, and that might be the best way to contact her.  An e-mail will go directly to her, and she won't have to check here to see that you have a question.  Good luck.  Jim

    Thanks Jim! I've been having trouble with that and discovered the problem may be my phone. Computer seems to work better.

    Hi Julia - I have a 2016 George with table that is very lonely because he has not received very much use. 

    I thought I was going to be on my George all the time but it turns out I am much more comfortable standing to quilt, and bought a small longarm (Babylock Coronet) that I ended up using almost exclusively. I kept my George as my sit-down option but have not been using it for the past 3-4 years. Then this summer I purchased my dream longarm - a Bernina Q24 - which is why I am selling my George now. 

    He has been loved and well taken care of (regularly oiled and run for a few minutes) -- but just not used the way he should. Like I said, he's lonely. I purchased extras like the ruler feet set, and there is also a portable bobbin winder that goes with him, along with extra bobbins, needles, etc.

    I hope the logistics can work out!

    Hi Sharon, Thanks for your info!  We don't want George to be lonely!  I am a detail worker and the sit-down machines seem to jive with my technique the best. Does your George have the L bobbin? I think I saw your post - are you in TX? I'm in the middle of the US but will be doing some traveling this winter (hopefully) but not sure if I can go in that direction. Keep me posted... my email is jmcrocetto at out look dot com.

    There is nobody in my area that services the phaff sewing machine. Can you tell me what tension you use for top quilting please. I’ve had the machine for about three years and it was preowned. Everything started working just fine and then all of a sudden I can’t get the tension right. I have bought king tut thread in superior and it just seems like it just doesn’t want to take any thread now it breaks thread off within 3 inches of quilting. I would appreciate any Suggestions you can offer.

    I hope you got your tension worked out (keep testing - start with the bobbin, which might need a micro-adjustment). If your King Tut is on the spool, use a horizontal spool mount; that helped tremendously. My machine has same symptoms, which in the past was from a barb on the hook (was repaired but symptom recurred after a while). A technician told me this machine has a "tight clearance" for needle and thread. I can run 50 wt thread without breakage, but 40 wt results in shredding - but only in one particular direction when FMQ (no problems otherwise). Going to a different technician for 2nd opinion. If I need to replace the hook, it would be worth it. This machine has been trusty! Lately I've been running 50-60 wt thread in the bobbin and 50 wt on top. I can usually run 40 wt on top if I have 60 wt in the bobbin and keep the speed slow (and size 90/14 needle) and don't go "backwards" when FMQ. I tension test every time I change any variable.
