I’m trying to do fill-in 1/4” straight lines using a ruler with a ruler base in stitch regulated mode. Retracing design to get to spot to begin straight line is a fight with my machine. Stitches are unpredictable and I’m not able to retrace my previous stitch line. I have no problem doing bump back feathers or retracing anything else. I tried taking off stitch regulated mode and the stitches are smaller and tighter. Help? Using glide bobbin, so fine top and have a Freddie.

If you were going to purchase a new longarm, would you buy a Freddie or a Lucy? I am considering a new machine for the new year and I'm doing a bit of research. TIA

Hello. I have a used Freddie bought from APQS last April. I have noticed it drifts whenever I stop quilting towards the middle. It's level on all sides including the carriage and the tracks horizontal and vertical. Can you help? This is becoming an issue when quilting. Thanks, Debbie

Hi there, I unpacked my Freddie and built it up way over here in Baumholder, Germany. Everything is fine when I quilt in SR mode ... until I want to stop. Freddie doesn't stop when I push the button again???. Please help. Thank you! Gundi
