judysmith Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well the edgeriders finally arrived and we managed to install the carriage onto Lenni. The actual install was a bit fiddly, but my machine is now sitting square on the carriage and gliding along beautifully. I did a practice quilt last night with Sally Terry's hooked feathers. It turned out really well and I was able to get nice large curved feathers, which is something I could not get with the original brown wheels that came with my machine. There was always that point where the wheels just couldn't hold the curve and would go off in a straight line. For me this is a big plus. Not having to fight with the machine means that I'm not going to have such a sore neck and arms and I can quilt quilt quilt on my little Lenni. I think I'm in love with him all over again!

JustSewSimple Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Judy, Lenni is a GIRL! She did not come with a remote control so I am sure that means she is a girl! ;);) Glad the new wheels are good for you. One day I will purchase these but my machine is pretty smooth with the old black wheels! Where are the pictures of your baby and the quilt? We wanna see!!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judysmith Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well no, he hasn't caught those bad habits from the human males living in my household, yet ... Now uploading a pic is a challenge. It's been a long time since I've posted. As it's now 11pm on Wednesday evening down here, I'll have a go tomorrow.

mrsbishwit Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I put edgerider wheels on my Liberty last year and still love them as much as I did the first time I used them. It was a good investment for me. I would also love to see your quilt as well, hope you can remember how to post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 JUDY looking at the picture, I see that the wheels on the frame are not running on the edge of the table frame like mine does. you have another set of small silver rail that the wheels run on along the length of the table. Did they give you another set of silver rails to add to your table?? Your feathers look fantastic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydids Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Jeanne, It looks like Judy has the original table that breaks apart, the "stow away" table. I would imagine that the rail spacing is the same as the steel table that you have, I can check on that. If not, I am sure that ER company has carriages that will fit both styles of table.

IBQLTN2 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Oh great, I was worried that I would have to get a different table to for the edgerider wheels. Patty I am saving my pennies for these new wheels, will let you know when my bank is full!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Grady Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Now would these be rooster feathers or hen feathers? Then we would know if you have a Boy Lenni or a Girl Lenni! :D:D Whichever, they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judysmith Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Jeanne The carriage looks different from the original - the rail is wider than the original metal support, but the wheels are spaced out to fit on the track. Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
