rubyccr 2 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 When I start my Millie the Needle never stops. The system comes up in stich regulator mode, with the needle up posiition but the needle keeps moving. I can stop the needle by setting Needle down. I have tried adjusting the little screw at the back of the machine but no luck. Looking for ideas thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbm 327 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Did you inadvertently turn Quilt Glide on? That would cause those symptoms... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rubyccr 2 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have checked and quilt guide is off. I have unplugged the handles and the CAT 5 cables and the needle still going up and down. Thoughts Appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbm 327 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Email to service@apqs.com, marked "high priority," and follow up with a call to them first thing on Monday morning. Describe everything you've experienced and everything you've checked/done, so they know what comes next. Most likely, it's a board issue, but they'll be able to walk you through a diagnosis. You may even get an email back from Dawn Cavanaugh before the weekend is out. Once APQS figures out your issue, please come back here and post the resolution, so that those who experience this in the future will know what to look for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rubyccr 2 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Amy at APQS was wonderful .It appears my Needle up sensor had gone bad. They sent me a new board and now it is top notch. The way we could tell it was a possible sensor problem was that the 5th light on the left bank did not light up. barbm and Beachside Quilter 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
