ckuipers Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I purchased a used Ultimate 1and frame last summer. I am just now able to get it set up. There was no manual for frame assemble. Where can I get that information? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Since you're now sewing with your "new" Ult 1, I'm guessing you figured out how the frame is assembled. If not, I'd suggest you look in the "used machine for sale" forum here to locate Ult 1's that have been for sale, and search the photos for clues on how the frame goes together. Good luck.

ckuipers Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi jimerickson. Yes, I am now attempting to quilt. I have not figured out the tension issue though. Thanks for your help. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Cindy: Did you follow up on Nigel's video recommendation? If not, do so. The best way I've found to help "index" the beginning of a tension adjustment is to start by tightening up the top tension until it pulls the bottom thread to the top on every stitch. Then begin loosening it until you get a balanced stitch. Really loose top tension can make it look like something else is a problem. It can also lead to "birds nests" and broken thread. Good luck.

ckuipers Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have cleaned, changed needle, rethread with a different thread, changed the bobbin. The stitches are much better, but I still am getting some bird nests on the back occasionally. We have been without internet for a until late yesterday so I haven't had a chance to watch the video. That I plan to do this weekend. I appreciate your help. Thanks! Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
