KDquilter Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I know I haven't been on the forum for a really, really really long time. But I have to ask for advice! My Millie has been having some issues lately. It stops sewing! I will be doing a panto and it just randomly stops sewing. The power is still on, it is like you pushed a button to stop sewing. I talked to Angie, who by the way is super, she sent me a new board, a capacitor and grounding wires. My husband replaced the parts, I sent the old ones back to her, and I proceeded to quilt. Unfortunately it stops sewing more now then it did before. I have been careful not to static shock the machine or the table and I have no idea what is going on. HELP!

Tamarack Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I had this issue and it was the grounding wire that was not installed correctly. Check to make sure that it has been connected correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDquilter Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Checked and double checked the grounding wire. Angie suggested checking the mushroom handles so that is my next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Did you by chance change the wall outlet you were using? If so the wall outlet or the circuit it is on could have a bad ground. Our electrician when he put in surge protectors on the house panel, told us that we should check the ground every few years as it is how the surge protectors get rid of an over voltage.

HeidiP Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Just a thought, have you checked your motor brushes? If they are worn down the power won't be able to flow consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDquilter Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Heidi: I will have to check that. We did check the outlet and it is plugged into a surge protector. I even replaced it with a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
