Sorry I haven't gotten back to you all sooner, I Thank you for all your input. I finished the baby quilt then, started the t-shirt quilt and had the same problems. I Took out all the stitches and cleaned the machine and changed the needle again, and will try again tomorrow. I have decided to purchase a new machine and after a lot of research I have decided on the Janome Memory Craft 6700p or the Elna Excellence 720pro. I am going to test them both and make my final decision. Hopefully I will have the money within the next 2 weeks. I will let you know what I finally decide on. If anyone has any experience with either machine, I would appreciate your opinions. Here is the baby quilt pics.
