Thanks guys! Dawn had me send an email with pics of the back and diagnosed it immediately ... I had to tighten the screw in my tensioner discs... Worked like a charm until yesterday... I advanced the quilt, which had looked fine for 1/3 of it, to find the whole back looking furry with massive loops everywhere... All the other times it's happened it's been random and I always had "bubbles" in the top thread to give me a heads up... So I've spent the last 2 days ripping... Gonna go tweak the tensioner screw again and tighten up some tensions... Hope that does the trick... sigh...

I took the plunge and just ordered the Bliss Upgrade for my 2006 Millie.  I can't wait to see how much easier the machine will operate.  I've only read good things on this forum regarding Bliss.  I also saw the video from Sparrow Studios showing how "Lenni" moved down the table with only a fan blowing on it, what?  Talking with Amy yesterday kind of sealed the deal.  Looking forward to my delivery.
 
Yours in soon to be smoothly rolling stitches,

Congratulations! You are going to be soooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!    

I played with Bliss at a road show recently.  First I sewed on a Freddie without the Bliss system. It was nice and smooth and easy to move.  I really didn't expect anything big from the Bliss, and was quite sure I wasn't going to pay extra for it.  Then I moved to the Millie with Bliss, and it took all of about 10 seconds to completely change my mind!  I clearly felt the difference, and I KNEW I had to have Bliss on my machine when I ordered it.  So I sat down with Josh (the presenter) and put a deposit on a machine WITH BLISS.  Can't wait!

Jeez, you guys are the best!!!  I'll start over with the tension check tomorrow.  I appreciate you replying to my post.  I've adjusted the hopping foot as per a post you have had in the past.  I might have it a bit too tight as I have to give a good push to slide the card under but it seems to be level.  I'll recheck that also.  The needle bar feels firm but I hear a slight ticking nose which means it's got a very slight movement to it.  That'll get a recheck too.
 
Thanks again Vicki and Dawn!!!
