KarenH Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I finally had time to take of the thread cutter. But now I have questions concerning the Rulermate. When I put the Rulermate on the machine I had a signiicant gape between the base and the hoping foot. I put the washers back on that were under the original plate, but I am not sure that was the right thing to do. Should I have adjusted the hopping foot and not used the washers??? Also, it now sounds louder that it did before, I am thinking it must be the plate. Now I am seconding guessing taking off the thread cutter. Ugh!

mswings Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think you will need a new ruler mate made for Millie's without thread cutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Karen, So, you had a rulermate that was made for the machine WITH the thread cutter on? So THAT space is now void? If that's the case, YES, you need a new baseplate. If NOT, and you ordered the baseplate for a machine WITHOUT the thread cutter, then using the washers is the correct thing to do!

Mary Beth Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 No, she has the ruler mate for a machine without a thread cutter. I think you do need to adjust the height. There is a post on that somewhere. Let me see if I can find it. The adjustment is not much, like a folded business card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenH Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'm sorry, I should have clarified what I had!!!! My Rulermate was for my Freedom, which did not have a threadcutter. So to use my old Rulermate I had to take off the threadcutter and then attach the plate. But the gap between the Rulermate and hopping foot was alot. So I put the washers on which did bring up the height, but I still needed to adjust the height a little more. My concern, is that it sounds different. Should I take the washers off, and adjust the hopping to where it should be, or leave it with the washers on??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Ok, take out the washers and readjust your presser foot to the correct hight. You don't need to add washers under the throat plate. Remember, you took off the cutter. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenH Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks for all of your input! Zeke, I will take out the washers and re-adjust the hopping foot, but it will have to wait until to tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
