Thank you for the suggestions, I have been busy piecing for a quilt just to give me time to think about this challenge. So my DH decided to give my long arm a try :shock: (I hope this face shows me holding my breath!) He too initially had problems, but put all the setting back and adjusted the roller bars - IT WORKED :!: He had problems here and there - but overall IT WORKED (he is hired)... I took a few turns and was very pleased. Found out when the bobbin thread runs out, it messes with the tension, but rethreading takes care of that... Whew, now I can't wait to finishing the piecing on this quilt and give quilting a turn...Happy New Year Everyone.
