Guest Linda S Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi all - I had forgotten that some of you were also having trouble, so I thought I'd post the suggestions that helped me here. Barna suggested that I check each wheel individually for damage. I did, and they all looked fine. He said to try and lift the machine a bit and see if I could spin each wheel. Of course, there will be resistance from the weight of the machine, but I had one wheel that would just barely budge. It was one with a cam, so I got out the wrenches and adjusted it, and now things are golden. I think that would be my best advice too. Take as much weight as you can off each wheel and try to spin it. You'll find the one (or two or three) that are giving you the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njquiltergirl Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi Linda. I am glad you had a simple solution. I had heard the flat area/dent works its way out over time. Hope it does not happen again! Lisa APQS Liberty Circle Lord NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieG Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm glad you posted this! I have the same problem but haven't checked my wheels yet. Another thing that happened today that is new for me: my SR hesitated to the point where it wouldn't stitch. It was in the horizontal direction, not the vertical. Not sure what caused it but it corrected itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marg Layton Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Linda, I have been wondering why my machine seems to be stiffer lately. I just went and checked, and there is one wheel with a cam that is barely moving. No wonder I have been having problems! Thank you for posting this. I am going to go make an adjustment so I can be a much happier camper today too! Marg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 It your wheels are too tight/ too loose on the stitch regulator boxes, it can mess up your stitch regulator. That's the thing I hate about changing out the wheels is you always have to make sure you get that right, or you can have a real mess on your hands. I quilted a bunch last night and it was just like skating on glass. Felt great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcclannan Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I need to let you all know that if anyone needs an extra edgerider wheel I have a whole set. I just had the Bliss system installed so I don't need my wheel any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeriGirl Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Dumb question. I have one wheel on left side of the carriage that is not budging at all when I lift the machine. I can not seem to get it adjusted. Do I need a wrench on the bottom of the off set screw when I am turning the top to the what.......8 or 9 o'clock position? The right wheel moves freely. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Yep - you need a 7/16 wrench on the bottom and a 9/16 on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeriGirl Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Thanks. I hope I get them adjusted. The friend that put them on for me did not use all the washers as the directions said so not sure if that is contributing to my problem also?

Hey Shirley, there is a reason for the number of washers required for the install. If not enough were used, that is probably why your wheel is not moving. It is probably not getting the clearance it needs. which wheel is it? Email me if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
