I fixed it!!!!


Recommended Posts

Whew! I just fixed my first timing issue. I got a rag caught in the bobbin casing while cleaning, and threw off my timing! I was stitching along on a practice piece (thank goodness it wasn't a customer quilt) and noticed that I was skipping stitches, and thought oh no, now what. I did my research and saw the dreaded word "timing"! I spent the whole afternoon reading and rereading and watching my maintenance video, and it turns out all I had to do was adjust the needle shaft a little bit, and now everything is working great again! I am so proud of myself for fixing something and not blowing up the machine!!! ha ha! Just wanted to share!

Great job Barb, now will you come fix mine. IT has never skipped stitches before. I loaded that monster customer quilt and guess what, skipped stitches big time. Any time I push away from me (standing in the front of the machine). DH and I took the thing apart, used a flashlight to try to adjust the timing according to the pictures that came with the machine and it is still doing it. The only thing I can think of is that the batting is the problem, but that doesn't seem right. It is just polyester medium loft batting. So. . . that quilt is on hold right now until I can figure out what is wrong with my machine.
