Yes it may be the #8 screw that needs adjustment.

I had mine on the 2nd floor in a big room over the garage, never a problem and the view was better than it is now from the basement!

I wish I could find one that doesn't leak water, the only way to do that is to not use the steam in your iron and keep it dry...I have an oliso also that I love but it started to leak water after about 6 months, so I don't think one exists that does not leak...I've tried them all...but on the other hand if you don't use water it is a good iron.

Beautiful work!

Tyquilter,
Egads, I just realized that I forgot to followup on the boards that I am willing to part with...I mostly do freehand now and just don't use them, both have been used once...I will use your email above and send you the information if that's still ok...
Thanks,
Vicki

I too have a set, I'll get a picture and post that too....
-
Great ideas and input on this....
-
That's a great deal, congrats on the Millie!

Just checking back with you - did you get some help with your wheels and adjusting them?
-
Have you tried using the micro handles? They get your hands down closer to the fabric and makes it so much easier to control your machine...my backtracking improved considerably when I use them....
-
Love those background fills - very nice!
-
Yes, thanks for sharing your story Wendy so that we can all learn from it…I am so sorry that it got so ugly but glad that you finally got things made somewhat right…

I am thinking #8 screw adjustment too, or it could be power surges and maybe a short in the circuit board? Apqs will have the answer for you....

I concur with everyone who says "Quilt them!" I would bet whoever pieced them would be so excited to see them finally finished and it would blow them away to see how cool a longarm machine is...and how quickly it can finish quilts now as opposed to 100 years ago! They would be much more valuable and appreciated if they were quilted, and I would try to stick to a quilting pattern that would have been done for that time period. A challenge would be to do it with a continuous quilting seam. I also agree with "put a label on them telling what you know about them" someone someday will be so appreciative of that!

Hi Dell,
What a cute quilt! I am thinking I would do something like a small stipple or a background that you like to do in the white and gold areas to keep them the same and push those backgrounds back, I would either do crosshatching or feathers in the blue triangles I know they are dark but it would give them a good texture...
does that help?
-
Absolutely beautiful!!! Your quilting is what makes the quilt!
-
Cindy, that is really cute! I love how you quilted it...what is the name of the pattern if you don't mind sharing? Thanks!
-
Jess,
What an outstanding job with the quilting! It is gorgeous! I love how you did the ribbon quilting on the compass points and especially the stars and background fill on the large areas....great job!
-
I charge .12 per linear inch to just sew it on one side with my DM, .25 per linear inch if I sew it on and then hand sew it down, so to do it entirely by machine I'd go somewhere in the middle...? I'd rather spend my time either longarming or doing my own quilts so I charged what I thought was more to try and discourage people from asking, I still get one now and then.
-
I have it too and love it!
-
Thanks for letting us visit your creative space! Wonderful!
-
My DH actually came up with my name but some times my turnaround time is not so fast....
-
What is your heritage if that is something you want to include?
-
Your quilt is very cheery and I love the wool batting and quilting you did!
Millie suddenly races for a second or two

Occasionally when I am quilting along, my millie suddenly races for a second or two making tiny stitches. It scares me to death as I am usually using a ruler and have my hands down near the hopping foot. I tried blowing out the carbon in the area around the motor under the hood, I've tried using a humidifier incase it is static electricity build up, but don't know what else I can do...
Has anyone else had this issue and what did you do to fix it? It has me nervous while I am quilting....
