[Difficult to do micro quilting with 2016 Millie]

Thanks so much for your input, I do have Bliss and I forgot to take it off stitch regulator so that's my problem as I did reduce the length of the stitch.

[Difficult to do micro quilting with 2016 Millie]

I am finding it difficult to do micro quilting because the machine is too heavy to move quickly while keeping the shape of the pattern.  I have Quilt Glide and the micro handles but still find moving the weight of the machine troublesome.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Barb, will do

[Carriage wheels shedding shavings]

When I pulled my last quilt off the machine I noticed that the carriage wheels had shavings in the grooves and on the table.  I think I might have been pressing too hard when doing a lot of ruler work on the last quilt.  Just wondering if this might be the cause or if I have a bigger problem or should replace the wheels?

Thanks Jim, I'll check it out.

 

[Machine gets hung up move during ruler work]

I have a 2016 Millie and when I'm doing ruler work the machine heads "gets stuck" while moving it across the ruler.  I make sure I'm not holding the ruler too tight or pressing it down on the bed of my machine too hard.  When I stop for a few seconds and try again sometimes it goes and sometimes it skews the line away or into the ruler as I'm fighting to keep it straight.  Thought one of the screws on my needle plate was catching on the ruler so had my husband grind it down but still having the problem.  Have checked to make sure the ruler table isn't hitting the belly or leveler bar and they are both high enough the ruler table slides under them.  Help!

Does anyone have two brakes, one on each end?  I don't think the tension on the quilt back is even with just the one brake.
