ffq-lar Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yesterday I received a call from a woman who I met a long time ago when she purchased a Lenni and I bought a Millie. We live a few miles apart but surprisingly never saw each other again. She has a quilting business and we are members of different guilds. She had broken a needle and needed some help. In ten years she had never had to time her machine. I was shocked! I have replaced my bobbin assembly at least six times in ten years. Amy walked her through re-timing and it still wouldn't stitch. She called and I went over yesterday afternoon to see if I could help. She had her needle in backwards. Luckily that was the first thing I looked at and she was stitching in a matter of minutes. I guess the reason I'm posting this is to remind myself (and others )-- To check the easiest thing first. That we all are so overwhelmed with a problem at times that we need another set of eyes or ears to see through to a solution. And that helping feels great.

Beachside Quilter Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 That's amazing, Linda! I can't count the number of times i've broken needles, replaced hook, etc. I guess she has the luck of the Irish! I think we have probably all done the "needle in backward" route, so if that's all the problems she's had she is lucky indeed, and extra lucky to have a friend like you to help!!

delld Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Lucky Girl. I have put the needle in backwards too and a couple of weeks ago broke a needle and thought I had messed up the timing and spent the afternoon retiming my machine.. Put the bobbin case back in and the need hit the case. Yep I had not messed up the timing but did not put the needle all the way in! Check that EASY first!!!!

Busy Quilting Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Maybe she is Irish? Lucky Her or maybe she is a very steady and methodical keeper of her machine. My timing incidents are all my own fault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferBernard Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 You are so sweet, Linda, to do that for her. I remember my teaching days of frantically calling in the busy tech guy because my computer wouldn't start. He calmly took the disk out that I forgot I had left in and it started like magic! Me embarrassed .....him very patient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
