I'm seeing now that my original post may not have been clear. I have taken it off the quilting frame and thought I could quilt the borders on a regular sewing machine.

I have a foot that has an "arm" and a clear, square hole, but I must have not installed it correctly because the machine wouldn't sew when I had it on.
BKinCO - Thanks for the encouragement. This is for our "honorary" nephew whose grandparents live on a farm. He loves to ride the tractor!

This may be a foolish suggestion, but did you put your pressure foot down? Even though you are doing free motion the pressure foot has to be down to put tension on the upper thread..... Ask me how I know :roll:
