Stitching Woes

Yesterday was frustrating.  I skipped an event so I could stay home and finish the quilt that is on the frame but my machine quit working.  I went over everything possible to solve the problem including rechecking the timing, cleaning, changing needle, tension, threading  etc. at least once without improvement.  I have looked at numerous videos without coming up with anything more than I have already done.  It sews about an inch and then skips.
I am going to watch another video on timing and if it still doesn't work, I will call the Grace Co.  Their tech service is very good so I am sure they will be able to suggest something.
In the meantime, I will finish another top and make some fleece toques.
Today, I got together with 3 friends for a day of quilting.  It is always such fun and helps all of us laugh our way out of life's stresses.  I didn't feel like hauling my machine and all the other stuff so I took some hand quilting.  I just have the border to do on that topper.  It is an order from a customer  who, fortunately, is very patient.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers.
Blessings,

  1. I have an Innova and I've never even seen a Grace, but when I had that problem, the tech had me clean and center the encorder that rides on the back rail. I used rubbing alcohol to clean the wheel and it fixed the problem for me. I hope you get it fixed soon...awful to have issues with your longarm!
