I have a 2008 Millie. Just got 2 new boards; mag wheel and power boards. DID NOT FIX ONE DARN THING!!! Still no needle up/down. Stitch regulator goes even when not moving the machine. Same problem I had before I talked to Jessica. I'm out a lot of time and $130 for parts; not to mention customers are leaving me!
Not happy!

I got it! Yay! But it is louder I think, than before I timed it.
I ordered a new hook assembly just in case.
I wasn't stitching I was doing needle up/down. And I never unplugged any encoders.
Thank you!

Watched the video; awesome btw. But it was hard to get my head close enough to see where I marked the needle! So I thought I had it; put it all back together and now it's hard to pick up the bobbin thread and sill only sew side to side. I missed something!!
Thanks for your help

I finally did finish it. And Shana is right; it was the backing because it was homespun loose woven stuff. But I changed to Quilters Dream BLACK poly so all went great after that.
On a side note, I used it on a set of placemats and the backing was RJR Thimbleberries from a long time ago. I had the same problem!

I've got POKIES!! I hate pokies. I thought it was me, but this is the second quilt with them. The first was for me; just placemat. This one is a customer and it's homespun front and BACK! I'm using Hobbs 80/20. It used to be wonderful; not so much anymore!! So i'm thinking of taking out two rows and using Quilters Dream Blend. Shoulda known!!

Sharon, your blog is wonderful! Very pretty quilts!
And your DH is a complete HOOT!!

I think Lora is right Connie! You are too young! And thank you for your service! Many times over!

Just an FYI. I bought a mini roll of Legacy 80/20 or 70/30?? Anyway, I'm almost finished with the 9 yards, and I found a small little worm in it. I've kept it wrapped in the plastic sleeve it came in; and I've never found any worms in any other parts/places in my studio. It was dead and crunchy. ............no, I didn't bite it; I just stepped on it to make sure it was dead and there was a crunch!!
Now, I have nuthin against worms for fishin' BUT STAY OUT OF MY BATTING!!!:P

Gammill heads are made in Taiwan, I think; APQS is made entirely in Iowa.
Both have great customer service, I've heard. I know FOR SURE APQS does!!!
Statler is specific for Gammill (again, I think); Compuquilter and Intelliquilt fit to several different brands of machines.
MQBM ( Machine Quilters Business Manager) all the way for software!!
No Needle up/down and Stitch Regulator moving without moving the machine head. 2008 Millie

I've called APQS and talked to Jessica. I went through a bunch of stuff with her and she had me order two new circuit boards, one for the mag wheel and one for the power board.
I switched them out this morning and it DID NOT FIX ONE THING!!! I am beyond mad! Lots of wasted time plus $130 not to mention my customers are waiting!
I've cleaned and measured my motor brushes; they are fine.
Now what? Any suggestions? I really miss Dawn; she always knew what to do!
Thanks, Linnea
