preventing puckering by using machine Pressure settings

Excellent info. Now I know why I was crying, trying to get the blanket binding around the quilt I was doing. Will have to get in touch with Pfaff though to figure it out for my 2170. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. I remember when I was a teenager my first two machines were a cheap little Brother and then I upgraded to a slightly less cheap Kenmore. Both had the ring setting on top and I quickly learned to change the pressure on the presser feet for better results. That's my biggest issue with the older Bernina I use now...there's no way to change the pressure on the feet....I just bought a used Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 830....and once again I can change settings on it. By the way...that 40+ year old Kenmore still works like a new one!

WOW, you will never know how timely this info is! I'm in the middle of diagonal grid machine quilting a large-ish lap quilt and I think this is definately part of my problem. I had set it aside for a bit to think on it and was just thinking about how I was "wasting" my time being on here. Not.
