phokan1020 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I am wondering what your opinions are on the M&M wheels. I am thinking about upgrading my wheels but wanted to find out what others thought of them. Thanks! Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankiequilter Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Love the M&M wheels. They definitely give you a smoother ride, but I do have to say my machine moved really good with the original wheels. The M&M just made it better.

newellyn Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I agree Carmen. My machine was great before the M&Ms and superior after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2b Quilting Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Love them, love them, love them. Well worth the $$. Someday I want the whole pie...i.e. the BLISS system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoTech Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I just installed the M&M's on my wife's Liberty and she says, much smoother and circles/turns are easier to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marycontrary Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I've asked this a few times on different threads, but having a hard time finding anyone who knows. Is there anyone out there who has gone from edgeriders to M&M's (or has driven machines with both) and can tell us if there is any difference or iimprovement between the two? For me, the edgeriders were a definite huge improvement over the original wheels. Are the M&M's really any better than the edgeriders? Is it worth the investment to switch from edgeriders to M&M's?

CWBowser Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I installed mine and there is a difference in the way my machine moves. I can get it to go where I want. It is smooth. I am even trying so quilting without the stitch regulator because I can get it to move where I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriVB Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Mary--I have the M&M's on order--because while the ER were as smooth as butter for about a 1 year--it seems as if the wheels where they ride on the rail became too big and we can't get them adjusted tight enough anymore. --It would be like I was falling off a cliff--the ride was still smooth as butter--but didnt' like falling!! I hope they come in soon--because I put my original black wheels back on the table--and it is like work--pushing over the quilt. JMHO.

Bonnie Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 The best money that I have spent all year....was having trouble making feathers with my millie....not the machine me, but with the new wheels now I have the control to do what I want and very happy with the outcome.

LinneaMarie Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I went from ER wheels to the M&M's. As everyone says; money well spent! I loved my ER's, but the M&M are even better!!! :P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bekah Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I too love my M&M wheels. there really and truly is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phokan1020 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Okay -- I went ahead and ordered the M&M wheels for my machine. I just received the head back from the factory (had some minor repairs) and Amy installed the wheels on the axles. I got three of the four wheels installed on the carriage but when I went to install the wheel with the stitch regulator encoder on it I didn't have the bolt screwed in far enough . . . the wheel and encoder fell on the floor and the four little washers fell off as well. I'm not sure where the washers fit for this particular wheel (with the encoder attached). Can anyone tell me the order the pieces should go on the bolt? I've emailed Amy with my question, but I don't expect to hear from her til sometime tomorrow and my nephew is coming tomorrow at 8AM to help me get the head back on the carriage. Thanks in advance!!!

Myrna Ficken Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I went from Edgeriders to M&M big difference. Everyone that had them on order with me all went out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraG Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Meg, I installed my ER by myself and did not take my machine off the frame. You can do it, yes you can!!!! Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanramey Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Meg--Don't bother buying Edgerider wheels now that the M&M wheels are available. I had my Edgeriders for almost 2 years and loved them after using the black wheels that came with my Millie. My husband installed the M&M wheels for me last weekend and it took most of the day. But he is much happier with the quality of the M&M wheels versus edgeriders. I certainly hope that the M&M wheels last more than 2 years also. But I love the way my machine moves now, and is even smoother than before with Edgeriders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltinginthecountry Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm bringing this one to the top, so all info on the M&M stays together. I too got the new M&M wheels. Alan (DH) installed these yesterday. Yes it took awhile because I had the ER wheels and the instructions were for the old black to the new M&M wheels. I'm running my machine in manual mode practicing my "Jamie Wallen's " woodcut feathers. What a difference. Love the new wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marycontrary Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Anya -- Do you have any hints for those of us who "might" be changing from ER's to M&M's some time in the future? What type of problems did you run into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 The biggest problem I've had is loosening the bolts that were previously installed on the machine. I do not remove the axel as the directions indicate, just can't see a reason to do that. If your machine is "growling" a bit it's a good time to add grease to your bottom end an mush it around to get rid of any bubbles since the machine is off the table already. jeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargR Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have been a lurker for some time, but wanted everyone to know that i had M&M wheels put on my machine and they are wonderful! My other wheels seem to "drag" and my shoulders hurt after i had used my machine for a few hours. Now i do not notice it. The carriage just glides like silk! You would not be disappointed if you got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 They are the same as installing the ER wheels, as far as difficulty goes. EXCEPT, the M&M directions are 100 times BETTER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
