K. Szymaszek Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I read this post and it hit home. Heidi said to check take-up roller and make sure leaders are straight. I checked screw notches on both sides and one has more ribs then other. Also my leaders did not come so neatly wrapped like ones in book and I can't take them off without pulling and tugging as they are glued. They seem to unroll evenly but maybe optical illusion. How do I proceed from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 You can square them up. There was a post a long time ago from Tina I think that details how to square your leaders. do a search and you'll find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Bowker Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Heidi's suggestions helped me a lot, I also had play between those round thingies and the poles. My hubby tightened it for me and away we go!! To square your leaders pin the take-up roller's leader to your Quittop leader, matching centres then roll them back-and-forth till there is no more sagging. Repeat with Quit Backing leader pinned to your Take-up leader. But DO NOT wet your leaders, apparently its disastrous if you do! :o Thats the great thing about this forum, there is always help at hand.
