I have another foot - DH looked it over and everything looks fine. Tired to sew and it picks up the stitch fine but the tension is messed up. Tried a few ideas and then decided to quit for the night, and try to get it figured out tomorrow.

I've got a paper pieced UFO project I want to work on also. I started a BOM last year and only got two done and then let it slide. I saved all the patterns with plans on eventually doing it. So I can work on that for a while until my LA is working again. DH is my sewing machine repair guy, so at least I shouldn't need to take it in.
Dang! that would be so scary to have happen with your long arm! Did it rip the quilt at all? Sure hope not.
