quiltlover03 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I am posting this here instead of the trouble shooting section as it is once again a weekend and I figure some of you might be able to help me a bit faster than APQS. I recently put my new baby on my table, she is stitch regulated, and regardless of using the SR or not, when working from the front of the machine, the closer I get to the back of the Quilt (or leveler bar & take up roller) she vibrates like crazy. What do i need to adjust? Please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peglu Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Monika, try putting a strip of a few layers of batting on top of the quilt, right under the leveler bar. This helped mine. Also, try loosening up the quilt a bit. Loosen the backing roller just a notch. You may just have it stretched too tight. Good luck. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltlover03 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Peggy, Thanks for your suggestions, this has happened since I put my new machine on a couple of weeks ago. It was never an issue with my previous machine, so i am suspecting wheels, axle, SR weight, anything like that. I never adjusted my front wheels and my machine is very smooth, glides like a knife thru butter, purrs like a kitten, except when it gets towards the back.

dtreusch Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Is the leveler bar too high? It can cause vibration if it is too high. You should be able to slide your fingers between it and the base of the machine up to the second knuckle. About 1/2" high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltlover03 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Debbi, I'll have to check that next time I have a Quilt on. I just raised my bars to accommodate the Ruler mate from Donita, maybe I raised the leveler bar too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 It's very possible Monika. I did the same thing when I put edgerider wheels on my machine and I had a lot of vibration until I lowered it 2-3 threads. If you quilt sandwich is too tight I think you might also get some vibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
