Thread Breaking and Timing

[jcox]

Okay I am so stressed. Called APQS waiting on Tech support. My machine was working great (Milli) !!!Yesterday put a new customers quilt on. decided I needed a needle change. put new needle in, got distracted forgot to make sure it was good and tight. apparently didn't tighten enough started to sew bent needle in hook case. jammed machine. got the needle out wihout much diff. then needle wouldn't even do a complete cycle, my husband looked and said this is a timing issue. went through the process twice, now thread keeps breaking. Do I keep attempting to work on the timing, seems to run fine, straight forward stiching seemed fine for 3 inches SR did fine for about 1 inch then with turning and going away from me, thread breaks every time. Have I ruined my machine forever? I am ready toocall it quits.

Joyce:

I am so sorry you are having such a bad day. I would wait to talk with the APQS tech before I did anything else.

While you are waiting there is a chat regarding thread breakage that will give you all the things to look for and try after you get the go ahead from APQS.

Make yourself a glass of lemonade, put your feet up and breathe. I am sure APQS can get your machine up and running.

Tech support will call and I am sure have suggestions for you to try. It may be something really simple like a burr caused by breaking the needle. I know how frustrating it can be, but it will get back to normal, honest.
