Long arm quilting question
Hello everyone,
Looking for some help with a longarm issue - whenever I load a quilt, I baste a line along the batting/backing using the channel locks (so it's straight). Then I pin the top to this line and baste it so it's straight.
When I quilt I always float the top, and use a centering tape to ensure it stays straight. I use a computerized program to quilt a pantograph.
The issue - the bottom edge of the top always has more of the pantograph on the right bottom edge than on the left when I finish. The quilt is somehow shifting I believe but I'm not sure what to do about it. This happens no matter what quilt/backing I am doing so I believe it must be something to do with the frame?
Obviously, something is wrong but I can't figure out what. We have checked that the take up bars are level, that the machine is square on the trolley, the leaders are straight....We've run out of ideas of how to solve this issue...
Any ideas welcome!
