thanks Rose. I did a lot of research on the internet yesterday, Gammill Classic Plus, and spoke with a friend in my longarm guild. I came up with the last thing I had to fix on it was the check spring. When watching a youtube video of Jason Reichert/Sharon Schamber, I did not recall turning the shaft 180 degrees after putting in the new check spring. So I took it apart again, did the turn, reattached it. This made the stitch better and less breakage but was still to much tension on top thread. So I bypassed the thread sensor wheel and then it worked much better with a great stitch. Glad I bought a towa gauge. Best investment. So I finished a farm quilt that I was using as working quilt, then did a baby quilt for a friend and minimal problems. So now put on a wall hanging going to double check with to be sure ok, then i will put the church quilt on it. i finished moving the block this am, dog, 14 years old, woke me up again! at 4:00 am. Poor thing, just can't go past a few hours and has to go potty. Getting old is tough. Will see how that works. I am just doing a pantograph on the church quilt. I almost want to do specialty quilting on it, but short of time and confidence.
