I was told to clean the machine, and after cleaning I would be surprised at how much better it stitches and sounds.
Monica, if you remember I spent two months trying to get this machine working originally. I cleaned it thoroughly, was ready to give up on her when she decided to start sewing. Since that time, I have used her exclusively for binding, but I always have to go around my big quilts twice. I just decided to throw it out there to see if anyone else has the same problems with their vertical feed machines?
