Stitch regulator connection light doesn’t stay on.

[BonnieJ]

Seems the connection to stitch regulator inside the body wiggles because the two little lights do not stay lit when moving the machine or the wire. When stitching I am getting long stitches only in vertical direction going up and down. My machine is a 2008 Millie. How would you fix this and is this really my problem causing the long stitches? I can run machine manually and it stitches fine.

Hi Bonnie,

You may have already read this, if not it may help.

Thanks for the help and info. I did discover my machine is a 2009. Will try this but afraid the connection where it plugs into the machine is not right because when I plug it in that connection it pushes back inside the machine.

Bonnie,

If you are still having problems give APQS a call tomorrow.  They can often solve problems over the phone.

Good luck.

Talked to Apqs and found out the light is suppose to flicker. So that wasn’t  my problem. Don’t know what was causing the skipped stitches because I got frustrated and turn the machine off. When I went back to it later it was sewing just fine, thank goodness.
