help with brother VQ 2400
i posted this problem a while back but seeing I had some things to get done i just kept sewing the way it was.
What is happening is, I can sew a pretty good stright stitch but when I try to change it to any other stitch it just sews a zigzag stitch no matter which stitch I choose.
I finished the quilt I was making and while sewing this quilt, the machine all of a sudden started to sew the way it should. I can tell when this happens as the stright stitch will be a little better stitch and I can back tack. I then tried the other stitches and they all sewed out fine.
I kept sewing and when I turned it off and later came back to the machine and tried to sew again it was back to doing the bad stitches, stright stitch ok but all the others a zigzag stitch.
When I had it cleaned a few months ago, I did tell then of this problem at that time, When I got it back they had a sample of how the machine sewed and it was perfect.Thinking they fixed the machine. I took it home and the machine started doing the same bad stitches,right away. When I called they told me to bring it back in. I did and the machine sewed fine, I really felt they thought that there was also something wrong with me. LOL
When I got the machine home the second time, I tried it and the machine sewed bad again stright stitch ok but all the rest Zigzag stitch. i called them back right away and told them it was doing the same thing again. they told me that they couldn't fix something that wasn't broken..but to bring it back and they would keep trying to sew on it and see if this happens at the shop when they try to sew on it.
I know this is what I will do, take it back but being without a machine will really be hard, as they said it could be a while before they figured out what was going on with the machine.
I was just wondering if anyone else had anything like this happen to them. The machine is not that old about 4 or 5 years. I also tried to plug the machine in a different outlet to see if that would help but it did'nt.
Thanks for your advice if any and listening to me, but I think the best thing is to take it back to the shop and leave my baby there.... Thanks again, and happy sewing
