AnnP Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Help please! The curved pieces on the Roller Brake that has the velcro on it keeps me from rolling my quilt. It gets sticky and the velcro is coming off. So I am going to Walmart or Lowes and get some more. Any ideas on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimerickson Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ann: My Zelda, didn't come with roller breaks originally, but since I built my custom table, I built a set. They aren't like APQS's, but they work the same way-put pressure on the roller and keep it from turning. I originally used the non-skid strips you put on your bathtub to keep from slipping, but recently had to replace some, and decided to try Velcro hook. It failed quickly. I've gone back to bathtub strips. They hold better and last longer. Next time one of your's fails give the tub strip a try. The adhesive seems to be much stronger.

belinda2 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Mine keeps coming off to.. It is a pain to replace. I have turned the roller brake around and used the bumpy side of the velcro. There has got to be something better to work for this. APQS please come up with a better idea please.

NHDeb Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 UGH!!!! Editing this! DO NOT BUY THESE STRIPS FROM WALMART! The adhesive is letting go already!!!! TOday is only 7/24/18 and they are peeling!!! And of course I'm 2 rows from finishing a quilt! Just wanted to add that I tried Jim's suggestion and it works GREAT! I used goo-gone to clean the residue from the brakes and my rails and after a bit of trimming, used the tub strips pictured - wavy was all my WalMart had in stock. (2 per side). I have plenty left for any future needs. Bonnie in Ok and Gail O 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianedamico Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Does anyone have two brakes, one on each end? I don't think the tension on the quilt back is even with just the one brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie in Ok Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have not experienced this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Diane: If the brake is holding only one is needed. The only reason you'd need one at each end is if your roller itself twisted. Being stiff steel, that's not going to happen, so if you have a problem, it's the brake slipping.
