fabric007 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I am not to good at the names of parts...but...When you turn the needle position down it started to hit something on the way up... also .. can you get a whole new part that the bobbin goes in to ?

Bonnie Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes, you can get any part you need for our older machines...just call Amy and play 20 questions with her and she will help you get whatever you need.... I at this point am not sure which part is catching your needle but with your description to her she may well know... The bobbin is set in the hook assembly...is that what the needle is catching on? Or are you asking about the bobbin housing...that is what the actual bobbin sits in and that whole unit is then set into the hook assembly....

fabric007 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 That is great!!! After reading the boards for awhile , you know who you want to answer..guess I should have addressed it to you personally! I love reading your responses..

Sparkle Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I also have an Ultimate II. A few months ago in an early morning daze I put in my needle backwards and it kept hitting the bobbin race hook. At first I couldn't figure out what was going on (duh?) So, I took the needle plate off and rotated the needle down manually---and sure enough I could see the problem right away! Also, make sure you have pushed your needle up all the way before you tightened it with the screwdriver. After I turned the needle around, had my coffee ---I was fine:) Yes, as Bonnie said you can get a whole new bobbin assembly for your machine. But you will have to retime your Ultimate. It has to be pretty worn out to need a whole new bobbin assembly unit. Hope your problem is as simple as mine was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabric007 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks for the input...no such luck as a needle in wrong..problem started with the needle in.. then it sounded like the needle hit something..so I put the new one in (checked to see if it was in wrongl..nope) then it started to hit something on the way up everytime...thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Is there any obvious damage? Could you have just jumped your timing and that's all you need? You can call anytime you need help, I'm NO WHERE near as good as the factory, but if all else fails and they aren't there like on a weekend I MIGHT be able to help.

fabric007 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Well...I did a little cleaning...another new needle, more oiling etc. got a big gob of junk out(i always do a cleaning after each quilt) turned the wheel up and down slowly and it wasnt broke...maybe there was a glitch in the needle I had put in...I did check and the needle was in right...I dont care what it was ...but it is better. Machines!!!! Dont they drive you crazy..thanks for all the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 So glad to hear your problem is solved. I clean my "Rosie" very well after each quilt. It sure has saved me. At times I have found big chunks of lint collected under the needle plate. That is why I mentioned before about taking the needle plate off and really inspecting things with a small flashlight. I use a small vacuum to clean with and brush at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Sue Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Looking for a picture of Ultimate II. Just bought used. I would like to order a manual for this machine, but seems when I get home, the office is closed. Is there another way to order a manual for this machine? Thanks for the HELP!!

Oh, and if I remember correctly there was an OLD VHS tape that went with this machine....did the seller give that to you as well? I no longer have mine, couldn't even begin to tell you where it went... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Sue Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hi Bonnie, I just got home from work and yesterday I went to bed after I read your email. I go to work at 4 am also. It makes for a crazy life, you are too tired after a day at work or it is time after dinner to get going for the next day. I have printed the 1st email, and am starting on the 2nd one. I really appreciate this. I might try to call if I need some help. I have been sewing for 48 years. Started when I was 10! Obviously I love it!! Thanks again, Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hey Bonnie, Do you still use the UII from time to time. I know that you have the Milli, but don't make the UII feel bad and tossed to the side. I have an UII and the UI and I use both all the time. When the Comuquilter in running so is the UII. I've had my UII since 1996 and I just can't give it up. I've had about 6 offers on it and I still say no on selling her. I just can't give up on a machine that has given me such quality work. zeke.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
