Pfaff 18.8 and Quilty Artist problems??????????????
Hi
Wondering if anyone can help me?????
I bought the Pfaff 18.8 and Quilt Artist a few months ago and I am continously having new problems with it.
After changing all the wires, stitcher box and encoders, the encoders seem to be ok for the moment. However, my stitches have been randomly changing in size.
ie: It could be sewing fine then suddenly the stitches are 1 inch long and it suddenly star...ts sewing again on its own.
Everytime I turn the 18.8 on it never starts the same. Sometimes I get the long beep and 2 short beeps and the stitcher works, sometimes it gives me 3 short beeps and it don't work.
It also suddenly stopped sewing in auto mode after about 30 seconds, with the QA on or off.
When I do get the stitcher to work, its not always recognized by the Quilt Artist computer, usually takes about 10-12 tries if I'm lucky, to get it to pass the stitcher test.
Now it don't measure my quilt area correctly,
ie: I measure an area of 89 inches by 14 inches and the QA measures 85.5 x 13.5 inches.
Originally I had trouble with the computer freezing up and shutting down by itself, but that seems to have stopped for the time being. I have it updated to the 3.0 update.
The few times I have managed to get it to work, prior to these last 2 months (Nothing), I would always have some new issue coming up with the system, it hasn't work correclty since day one....
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
