Starrynight Quilter Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well, more like walking, o.k. try baby steps.... After a few months of being stored, finally got Millie set up and I am now playing. So far so good. I've written my name and my dh name, did some circles, squares, diamonds all freehand...not great but not bad considering it's my first time. You ladies and gents were right, it is great fun. I'll be busy playing and figuring things out. Can't wait to feel confident enough to load one of my quilt tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilted charm Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 So, Marlene, how did she fix the slow up down function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Leslie, that was likely the #8 screw issue. Most of us have had to adjust that pesky screw, one direction or the other or both! It's easy - and there are instructions in your manual, if you need them. Or you can do a search here to get hands-on advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
