lisae Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Remember to increase the stitches per inch when you turn the machine back on after a break. Just sayin... Boy, am I out of practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 We've all done that one I'm sure!!!! I know I do it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyquilts Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ok, I will have to remember that one. Just when I thought my learning curve was pretty small, LOL oh boy do I still have a lot to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I used to decrease the stitches for basting, then return to normal. Worked okay, except on pantos. I'd go to the back of the machine, start quilting, wonder why it sounded so funny only to have it dawn on my halfway through the row why! Now everything is done at 10/11 spi....even I can't screw that up!!:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 BTDT. Maybe if I bought the T-shirt, I'd remember more often!! Dory - I do most things at 10-11 also, but when you shut off the machine, you're back to big stitches again. Gettin' old ain't fer sissies!

lisae Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks, everyone, I feel better now. The good news is that I actually got some quilting time in. I had promised to quilt this quilt prior to knowing we were moving so I have to get it done. I just received the top Tuesday. It is for a good cause. I will post pictures after it is given to the recipient. We will be moving into our new house three weeks from today. Can't wait to get my new studio all set up so I can make more stupid quilting mistakes! A bad day quilting is better than a good day packing (or painting)!

You can say that again..... Good Luck with the move, hope all goes well, that nothing breaks or gets lost! Be sure to show us your new space~~ after you get all set-up and have everything in its place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaA Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I got a new head for JJ last year. The new models have the speed gauge on the front and the back of the machines. I think that was a great new feature. However, that doesn't mean I won't remember to turn the speed, it just means there are more places for me not to look.

Gator Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have IQ and change the stitches frequently but like others I forget to re-set after basting. The IQ takes off very fast when set at 7 LOL. I now have a very large sign on my wall and another on "Gator" which says "set stitch/speed". Guess what? I still forget.:mad::mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilted charm Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 The first time I did it, I was so confused as to why it wouldn't just go already! When I figured it out, (which was probably a longer after the fact than you did) I felt so dumb:) The really sad thing is I've done it more than once:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Me too! Remember you are not alone in any of this!!! hahaha Good luck with the move. How exciting to get a new studio and deck it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
