CeciKelly Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm posting because I need some ideas and I can't wait until monday... I have a millie (last year model). Yesterday I was making a customer quilting with the regulator stitch on. It was going well until the machine started to make long stitches and then stopped by itself. So I was buring the threads and suddenly the machine jammed with the needle down on my customer quilt. I already tried to turn off the machine and tried to lift it up manually. The problem is that I still have some quilts to make before christmas. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for you attention, Cecilia PS: I think my millie is trying to say that she wants some vactions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Cecilia, Can you take the needle out? I assume that thread is wrapped around the hook. Try to use scissors and tweezers to pull all the thread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmummo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Try moving the flywheel by hand to move the needle up. If you cannot, it might be that you will need to break the needle with a pair of pliers in order to free things up. Breaking the needle (on purpose)is a hard thing to do. Ask me how I know this ! Best of luck. It is frustrating especially whwn you have more quilt tops to do. Quiltmummo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeciKelly Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I wished that the thread is wrapped around the hook but it's not.... and I already tried to move the flywheel by hand... How I didn't thought about removing the needle?? (That's why I love this forum so much!! We can always people who can help you out) I hope it works! Thanks both of you!!

PattyJo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 YIPPEEEE. I'm glad that you are back up and running. And I agree with you - this forum is great to help us all when we are in a jam (which seems to be at night or on the weekend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
