sewingpup Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I went to take a quilt off my frame and was unable to unroll the take-up roller....The pad on the clamp had slid leaving a fold in the pad and adhesive residue on the roller....it would not unroll. The clamp was removed...the adhesive residue was cleared off the take-up roller and I repositioned the pad on the clamp and re-attached the clamp...but...I am sure this is going to happen again...I did email APQS with the problem...but while I am waiting...does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks....Lin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnQuilts Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 That's happened to me several times. I just take the clamp off, pull off the pad, wash off the residue with Goo Gone, buy new velcro and restick it on. I then tell myself that I will be very careful to see that it doesn't happen again, but of course, it does. Then I do it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I just had it happen on my Lenni for the first time. I've had the machine for about 6 months. I agree that it seems likely to happen again, so I'd like a more permanent solution.... I just put back the original velcro; it sticks okay for now...

witha'K'quilting Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 try stapling the velcro in place to the wooden clamp. works like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingpup Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thanks....but...I don't have a wooden clamp...I have a newer 2012 metal frame....and my clamps are metal....crunch....I think I would need a blow torch or welder or something I have been thinking of all sorts of things...including using a sock with those antislip dots on them...ummm...maybe if on both sides? I'll have to keep thinking or waiting for another suggestions....Lin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
