connie hurst Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi Everyone, Just to let you all know, the reason that you get oil pooling there, is due to over-oiling the wicks on top!!! It is better to much then not enough, however, if you touch the wicks and they are wet, then don't oil them and that will eliminate that problem!!!! I will be out of the office after today (Thurs.) and won't be back in until next Wed.. as I'm going to Oregan, to teach maintanance!!!! Mark will be in on Mon.. (he is at a show now) Mike will be here on Fri.... Hope you all have a Great rest of the week and weekend!!!! I know I will, unless the hot-air ballon I'm going in crashes!!

applecart2004 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I own a Millie. I am very proud of her. Speaking of lighting, my husband made a shield for the back of the light, thus concentrating the light straight down on the stitching area, and keeping it away from my eyes. It works wonderful and looks great. The back shield looks just like the front shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsigler Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Is Michelle Miller still on this list? I looked for her pictures and instructions for moving the light on Millie but can't find the pics at this link. If anyone can direct me to photos and instructions, I would be so grateful.

Dave & DeLoa Jones Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 my husband made me custom lights take a peek..... http://www.deloasquiltshop.com/longarmaccessories.html the lights have a outlet to plug the bobbin winder in as well as the motorized feed. also they have a plug mounted mid way to plug the machine into. all my cords are now up off the floor and it is really sharp, i never realize what i was missing, no glare at all, no more eye strain.

Katydids Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Cathey, I had my husband move mine. He had to extend the wire in order for it to reach the back. I tried the industrial strength velcro and that only lasted for a few days at a time, plus the light was wobbly, so it was like quilting with "disco" lighting. He took 2 small angled brackets (angle irons?) and screwed one side to the light (after drilling new holes) and screwed the other end to the screws at the back of the machine. It is angled to the front so more light shines there rather than straight down and to the back. Here is a photo. Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
