Lizbeth Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 First I had terrible tension problems, went to my local fabric shop and they gave me several tips which helped tremendous. Now I am quilting and my stitches are so small. I have it set on 8 and I am using the stitch regulator. I am doing a panto on the Shadow Box quilt. I am using the glide upper thread and pre wound bobbins. I did shut everything off and even unplugged it for a hour or more. Anyone have any suggestions.

ffq-lar Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Check the actual stitch length you're getting by setting the spi at 10 and stitching a three inch square. Use a ruler to note the real stitches per inch you're getting on all four sides. Then stitch a circle to check if the stitches are a consistent length all around. Armed with this info, call or email Amy with what you've found out. It may be that a board needs replacing, which is an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luz2Quilt Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I agree with Lizbeth that the Millie's lowest stitch length 7-8 are very small stitches. I can't imagine how tiny the stitches get if you go above 10 so I will do what Linda recommends. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemueller Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I had tiny stitches recently. I was quitling with puffly wool batting. I didn't want to interrupt that quilt, so I finished it before troubleshooting. I believe that my hopping foot was set to low for the puffy batting. When I put a practice piece on with flat batting, the stitches were back to normal length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
