carolinequilts Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Lady has returned home and I'm assured she will be better than ever! While at the shop I had M&M wheels installed on 3 of the axles - both head, and carriage back. Since I didn't need to send it, I left the front carriage axle here. So I have to install those myself, but I did not get any instructions or additional nuts/washers/cams - just two wheels. Also, I have the Circle Lord. Anyone else have Circle Lord and M&M wheels? What did you do to raise the carriage. Please be specific - # nuts/washers added between back carriage axle and carriage and also between front wheels and axle.. Also, did you need longer bolts for the front axle? Picture would be great! And here I thought I would be quilting tonight. But it doesn't look so promising right now.

carolinequilts Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think I got it. On the front carriage axle, I put 1 extra nut and no extra washers above each wheel. This brings it to about the same level. I had to change to the bolts that were currently on the Edgeriders. I had to use the existing cams. At the back, I but 1 extra nut and no washers between the axle and carriage. Whew! It would still be nice to know how to 'set them'. I'm pretty sure there are posts around for that. Why are these things always so stressful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I could email you a copy of my instructions and I think APQS would also. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Caroline, I'm glad you got your baby back and your wheels on. I have mine set at 12 o'clock on the table (side to side) and 10 o'clock on the machine head (back to front). This seems to be a good setting for me. I hope you get to quilt some today!

carolinequilts Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks Heidi. The machine head was set by Amy at the shop and they are at 10:00. I will set my carriage to 12:00 and try it out tonight. Wish I didn't have to go to work today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
