Strange problem


Recommended Posts

I was working on a quilt yesterday and starting have a strange problem.

I was working from the front of the machine and after about 3 hours of quilting, it suddenly became difficult to move the machine around in the first 6-8 inches of vertical space. The machine feels like it is dragging and it is a fight to make any kind of circles or curves in this area. This happens across the entire length of the table. Once I get out of this area, the machine glides again.

I checked the wheels for thread, lint, etc. and they are fine. I cleaned the rails and wheels and it made no difference.

Any ideas what might be causing the problem?

Thanks,

Deb

What machine do you have? I have a Liberty and I was having a very similar sounding problem early on, then I realized that my horizontal locking bolt had virated down, and evertime I would pull the machine forward, it would drag. DUH! Once I realized it, VOILA! I always take the time to unscrew it sufficiently so it won't wiggle down. I thought I broke the machine, lol.
