suzanp Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 How long is your electric power cord on your milli? Maybe a stupid question, but I can't reach the end of the frame, I have a big quilt top on and can't get to the end of the sides!!! The cord is plugged in the middle of the back wall centered with the frame, is it the right cord??? :o:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Suzan, I have mine attached to a heavy duty extension cord which is plugged into a power strip which is plugged into the wall. I loop the extra cord through the middle support bar that is under the plexiglass on my table which allows it to move all over my 14' frame without drag. I don't have anything else plugged into the power strip but just in case of a storm while I am quilting I think it will give me extra protection from lightening although I do unplug the machine when I do see it. Well that was a long answer but I hope it answered your question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaLKB Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have mine the same set up as Vicki...........I also unplug my machine when I am done for the day - just in case a storm pops up overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 :D I meant I unplug the machine when I see lightening or hear thunder, not everytime I see my millie...:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanp Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ok, guess I will have to get an extension, but thought it was funny that it couldn't go to the end of the frame!!!! Thank you everyone:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I took a power strip and attached it almost in the middle of the frame with zip ties. I don't find that I have any pulling on the cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
