  1. I've had my machine since 2007 and I've never changed them. I usually try to keep them straight so after each quilt I make sure they are straight again. If they get out of whack I pin them together, actually I have zippers so I zip them together, and roll back and forth until they are straight. Only one time did I have to square them up again by creating new squared ends.
  2. Nice space and I'm really glad you are back to quilting!
  3. I remembered I had the email of her DIL and emailed her. Rita is still in the hospital. She had breathing related complications but seems to be doing better as of this week. I'll let you know if I hear anything further.
  4. I haven't heard anything either! I sent her a personal email and didn't get a response. I sure hope she is ok.
  5. Prayers for you Rita and I sure hope you get your surgery! Many blessings wished for you.
  6. Rita I'm just seeing this. I'll keep you in my prayers!
  7. Keeping you both in my prayers Rita! Praying you get some relief from the pain.
  8. Wow that looks great and your quilting put it over the top!
  9. Jim I have found the same results with not hitting the hook, also happened to me a lot. I thought I was the only one this happened to. I did have it happen when I was stitching in the center of my start quilt but I had a lot of layers coming together. I just had to go slower.
  10. Wow Jim you went to town! I heard that many that went with the Groz-Beckert needles had to retime from the Singer needles (I think the yellow packs were Singer). I never made the switch to Groz so never retimed so maybe that is why I didn't have to deal with that. My needle doesn't make any noise that is a good sign :-). Keep us posted.
  11. Dell they are adorable and we discussed it but DIL decided she didn't want Pirate theme for girl. Not sure what we'll do yet other then it will be aqua and lavender.
  12. I have this pattern. My DIL wanted it if she was having a boy but we're having a girl!
  13. Check to see if Dave Jones will be in your area and have him come and go over your system! He is fantastic at getting these machines to stitch perfectly and roll smoothly!
  14. Great background fills. I think I would have been at a loss as to how to quilt this one. You did a great job.
  15. I use a lot of Metro and I love it. I never have any breakage issues. I like that it is thinner but gives just a little shine. My customers seem to like it too.
  16. Oh and I forgot to add I have heard great feedback on using it for piecing, just not quilting.
  17. Linda I haven't heard of one person that was happy with this set-up. I'd suggest she keep waiting until a better machine comes up.
  18. I forgot to add that you can use the mineral oil on lots of things, not just thread to extend the live and renew it. I use it on wicker baskets and wood as well. Of course I would not oil my machine if the manufacturer tells you not to but I'm just lubing the thread, not oiling the machine so the difference is that my machine stitches better.
