Jess Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 I'm curious, I have had several occasions where I think my thread tension etc is doing fine on the first pass acrossed the table. Then I roll to get ready to sew again and when I get going, the thread starts breaking and I sometimes get a little bit of difference in my stitch length while the stitch regulator is on. I know I go a little slower when I am just starting to figure out the pattern I want to do, but could I really be going that much faster by the second time around that the thread and stitch regulator can't keep up. Ideas other than going slower (LOL)? Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connie hurst Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi Jess, I don't think you could be going to fast for the stitch regulator. Check and make sure you don't have a burr somewhere in the hook assemble or in a pig tail guide. Maybe try tightening your tension when it is sewing good and maybe it will stay better going the other way. Usually it is a little harder when the fabric isn't being feed into the ension side. If that doesn't work give me a call.. Now, the channel locks 1ST. do you wax your table on a regular basis? I have seen where if they are waxed to much they won't grip until some of it wears off.. Is it one more than the other? normally it is the front to back one. Adjust it like you would adjust the back right hand bolt on the head... Put the narrow part of the off- set bolt, down around 6p.m. Let me know if that doesn't take care of it. 1-800-426-7233 ext.6 Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDdarcie Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Hello all, I would just like to add that a person can have the quilt sandwich too taut on the rollers also, and experience thread breakage, or even abnormality (on the back of the quilt especially). darcie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 jess, I was having that problem yesterday. Read in a couple of my books that if everyting was threaded properly etc. try some thread lubricant. Tried it and no problems since. jeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted January 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 What are you using for thread lubricant? I keep hearing about it, but I haven't figured out if it is sewing machine oil or a special 'thread lubricant' because I haven't seen it in a store before...of course I wasn't really looking until recently. Thanks, Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
