I went back and placed the wheels on the track. It was a big help but it is still was not right. I don't think I had then on there tight enough. When I get the right size Allen wrench I will try it again.

All and all I don't think I did bad for the first run. After about 4 rolls I figured out that I was to place my needle down on the dot for my next run. Well that would have worked if I did not have the pattern upside down :oops: 1st Lesson learned!

2nd lesson learned, Do not pin to my litters. I am to tall and this table is to short to have to bend over and pin everything. My back did not like that at all!

3rd lesson learned, Don't use the Cut thread button when quilting. I had a world of a time getting a hold of my bobbin thread when I stated my next row.

Now for the things I DO NOT LIKE.

1) I only had about 2 yards of fabric on there and I was having to reload the bobbin after 2 rows. If I had a full size quilt on there I don't think I would be able to make 1 full pass. Not to count my hand is twice the size of the opening to get the bobbin in and out. With the frame I have the batting in rolled at the bottom of the table so I have to slide the machine over to get to it.

2) What is with the top of my frame? I have it on correct but yet it is still bowed in the middle. Every time I get to the middle while quilting I am hitting something. I will figure that out now that I have it unloaded. I also feel that it keeps you from seeing your quilt if you are just wanting to quilt free handed.

Last but not least things I still have no idea about :mrgreen:

1) Thread tension dial. No where does it talk about what is should be set on. Is it for just when you are sewing or do I need to adjust it when quilting too?

2) Stitch length indicator. Same ? as #1 is this just for when you are sewing?

I think that about covers it. I attached pictures of the front and the back of the fabric I quilted. You will see the large gaps between the quilting from where I had the pattern upside down and could not match it back up:XD:
