What problem were you having that the dealer kept replacing an encoder? Was the machine racing (going real fast?). Did you join our TinLizzieLonarm group at yahoo?
It may be that you need a circuit board replaced, or really, just make an adjustment...I had to pay by credit card for the replacement board...and still had problem...so Isaac had me turn a little white screw on the board...fixed! I returned the first board & they gave me full credit on my card. The board is very expensive (500.00 almost) so, they do require a credit card to replace it. That way if you don't return the original...they charge you for it. That's probably why your dealer wouldn't order it for youl.
If you haven't yet, join the yahoo group, we have a few dealers there, and some really helpful users!

I have left messages at the company many times and they seldom call you back. One time Ernie Floyd, owner
of the company (he says) did call back, asked questions and said he would send a part the next day. The dealer called later and said they would not replace thaqt part and since then I have
left three messages and have never gotten a return call yet

u-shaped slot. It is such an easy fix. When you take the can of air and blow off the tines of the wheel, also make sure you gently blow off that green curcuit board. If there is any lint on the stitch regulator sensor that is located on that board, which also helps regulate the stitch regulator, it will also cause problems with your stitch regulator. I use the air can to gently blow air on the whole area about once a month to keep it lint free. It is all about keeping everything lint free on the machine to prevent problems. I haven't had a problem since I am conscious about keeping this area very clean.

This is an interesting topic for me. I have been daydreaming (wishing, hoping) about getting a long arm. I have been considering the Ansley 26 versus the Tin Lizzie 18 the price is about $3000 difference. I was thinking if I got the shorter one then I would regret it? Anyone have any suggestions? crafty_linda_b

It depends on the size of the quilts you will be doing, and how much room you have for the frame.
