In need of advice...Lucey or the new HQ Moxie?
srichardson replied to PKS's topic in Newbies, Machine Buying Advice
Have you checked out the used APQS sale? There was one recently and there was a 2019 Lucey for $9,950.00. It may well have sold but the sales roll around every so often. If you don't already get APQS e-mails it might be a good idea to sign up. I don't know anything about the HQ machine you are interested in, but one thing I would check is if it is possible to do any repair work yourself or if the machine would need to be shipped back to the factory.

Shredding thread
srichardson replied to apylinski's topic in Ask The Expert - Stitching & Pantographs
Have you checked for burrs? Also check to see if the thread guides have worn down into a groove. It they have try turning them upside down so the thread is running through a different part of the guide. If you can work out where on the thread path the shredding occurs it will give you an idea which area to check. Good luck. -

Stitch problems on top
srichardson replied to redhotmama's topic in Thread, Bobbin, Needle Troubleshooting
Have you tried a bigger needle? I am not familiar with the top thread that you are using but it looks in your pictures as though it is probably about a 40wt so a larger needle may help. Even though you have put a new needle in there are sometimes bad needles in a batch. -
Neat!
