maree Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The thread just stripped on the brake on my top roller., Of course I am in the middle of a quilt. I managed by swapping brakes. I have only had my machine about 9 months and am surprised that this has happened. Has anyone else had this trouble. I don';t think I am doing them up over tight. Not sure if the warranty coveres it, I have emailed for help so am waiting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Maree - did you get any help yet? There is nothing worse than being brought to a halt just when you are in the middle of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnCavanaugh Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Maree, What kind of machine do you have? I have not heard of this happening before, but will be glad to follow up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi ladies I emailed Maree last night to confirm that the bolt will be replaced under warranty. She has one of the first Lennis. She swapped the bolt from the no. 2 roller to the backing roller as a temporary measure since she doesn't use that one and is able to keep on quilting. sue in australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Ah, when there's a will, there's a way. Seems like quilters can always find a way to solve a problem. Happy quilting, Maree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maree Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thank you Dawn and Sue for your reply, As Sue said I have a Lenni, and when the thread stripped, little pieces of metal shaved off onto the panto shelf. My DH got it apart and changed the brakes over, but both the bolt on the brake and the bracket it screws into is damaged. I have been checking today, just how tight I am doing the brake up, but there is still some "bounce" in my fabric so I don't think I have been over tightening. I hope the other brakes hold up until the replacement comes. Thankyou for looking into it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
