Beatrice, how do you use the EQ printed borders to sew the sides of the quilt? Do you turn the quilt, or have some other method? Bonnie, for pantos, I start at the right, but go both directions and never had a thread break issue.

PepsiGirl, how do you do the basting stitch? Typically I use the single stitch button on the handle to pulse the needle down and then pulse up, but that's a lot button pushing. Do you do something different? thanks, Colette -

dbams reacted to a post in a topic: Help - Set screw doesn't catch hold in needle bar
-
Cagey, thanks so much, I'm back in action! I screwed the set screw all the way through to the other side, then used a brand new screw sanded down a bit to remove stub irregularities, and finally was able to get enough bite to secure the needle. The original needle bar set screw threads were smooshed, which has happened on a number of screws, so I'll see if situation improves with the now rethreaded needle bar threads. Thanks for link to the forum discussion, I'll go back and review. Nigel, good to know about rotation. Thanks all! Colette

Hi, does anyone have suggestions? I've always had trouble with the set screw not threading sufficiently in the needle bar so the needle isn't held tight. And now it doesn't work at all. I've fiddled with everything, tried multiple set screws, and different needles, but there aren't any screw threads catching in the needle bar. Ideas? Does the needle bar set screw hole need to be retapped? Is it possible to do this? My DH has access to full machine shop, so I suppose I need to understand how to remove the needle bar. Is there something else I should try first? Thanks for ideas! Colet

I purchase 4-40, aim for 3/16" but usually end up with 1/4". I find I have to sand down the nub end slightly to improve the screw setting into the shaft, to get a bit more of the threads to lock in and solidly hold the needle. Works great.
