Heritage Keepsakes Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I have to say, today I appreciated the new skills that I am constantly learning from longarm quilting. Just one of many so far: Bobbin tension on a DSM can be tweaked when it's needed, by the owner of the machine! I remember way before I got my (longarm) machine when taking DSM classes being told, "You never touch the bobbin tension!" Today I was happily sewing along on my DSM and suspected an issue. Tested the bobbin, way to tight and proceeded to grab my screwdriver and fix it. All without a second thought. Results? Immediate return to beautiful stitches. And this is the result from bobbin tweaking on 'Pearl' whenever the need has arisen. I love the skills and confidence that longarm quilting continues to gift, to any that take up this rewarding form of creative art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Longarmers have no fear we can do anything we set our minds to. Amen! I have always been one of those people who want to know how something works; with my curiosity of that, I’m always taking something apart. Usually I can get them back together, but not always successful (I have a box in the garage with failed attempts). Before getting my long arm and doing my own maintenance on it I would have never thought about tearing apart something that is X-Thousands of dollars. But, now I have no fear of it! Some of you may have remember a few years ago I tore apart my Ultimate 1, striped her down, repainted, rewired and added a couple upgrades. I do have to give a lot of credit to APQS for their design, their support system and easy to read instructions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
