Thank you so much to all those who came to my rescue! Don't think this is the last of my dumb questions though! Elaine, The only "dumb" question is the one you're too embarrassed to ask!! We've all been there, so don't hesitate to come here to ask what seem like "dumb" questions!!! Besides, very shortly, there will be someone even newer than you who will benefit from the questions that you ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DottyRN Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 there are no dumb questions! I had to call APQS because I couldn't get the machine to start stitching... the little jack wasn't plugged in all of the way! I thought I had checked that, but guess not that well! glad to hear you got her up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenie123 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ann RE;Newbie Tip ,what I had done was quilted a free motion pattern I made up and decided I wanted to add more detail to the beginning of the quilt so I went to roll back both my back rollers only to realize it cant be seperated because I have already quilted it ,I needed to finish quilting to the bottom now and stabilize it and unpinn the bottom of the quilt top so they would then both roll back on one roller ,I hope it makes better sence ,its almost one of those you had to of been there moments but I got a good chuckle out of it ,so glad it was only practice but I am making progress ,my real frustration is not being able to post pics ,I have a quilt top that I need advise on ideas ,it might get tossed on the back burner because its my favorite ,its a pattern by Elenior Burns called summer porch and I used all Amy butler prints ,its so colorful for summer .

Heritage Keepsakes Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ooh Queenie, don't give up trying to post a picture. We would all love to see what you've made, especially since you've used Amy Butler fabric. I bet it looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oma Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Once you get your pic to your desktop are you following the directions exactly? Go down to the "attachment" line and click on "browse" box. Find your pic and click on it. It should put an address in this box. Must click on "Edit Post" can NOT choose the "Preview Post". Rename your pic something simple and without any symbols (no 's or anything). Resize it to around 600x800 pixels. Then try to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anniquilter Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Don't preview your picture before you post. Are you absolutely certain there are no apostrophes or other extraneous punctuation marks anywhere in the name of the picture. I couldn't understand why - mary's quilt - wouldn't post until I tried - marys quilt ! Offends my sense of grammar but works for posting pics!

Make sure you have no . , " ! # @ or any other special characters. Also make sure your pictures are jpeg. Oh and don't hit preview. If you still can't get it loaded email it to me and I'll see if I can figure out why it won't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
