kaconway Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I just got my Millie a couple of days ago. Today while I was practicing it suddenly became very hard to move the head across the quilt. It has been extremely smooth. I checked for hangups in the rollers, but see nothing. Can anyone help?

Mary Beth Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Are your channel locks on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaconway Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Aha. They were when it happened. I thought they would just clear out when I stopped. Is shut the machine down and came upstairs and my husband just came up to tell me it works fine - hence the channel locks must have cleared! Thank you for help, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing bear Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 also be careful of power cord getting between back wheels and table top. i had that happen. got to figure out a way to clamp power cord so that it STAYS centered at the back and doesn't jump over to the side. tippy tippy toes ... 'tis a good day to be dancing with New Toy who almost has a name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'm glad you figured it out. I know it can be frustrating when you are first getting started and something like that happens. Everyone here is good to jump in with solutions, not always the best solutions, but most are worth a try. Have fun quilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 To begin with, slow down when switching between channel locks - listen for the click and watch the little red lights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
