We had our class on Monday, rested the next day. Made the first quilt. The leopard one in case I get the pics out of order. Anyway, we thought we were doing great til we got to the last row when it overlapped with the previous row. There was still plenty of backing. We have no idea what went wrong. Any suggestions? The next one, the tan with red embroidery had a problem with the bobbin. Could it have been lint? This was signature thread that was given to me and I really don't like all the lint it produces. But, being a newbie, I thought I'd give it a try. Gonna give it back to her. The last quilt, for some reason offset the last row. Again, we don't have any idea what went wrong. Sorry this is so long.

I really don't know your exact question. Are you using a computerized system or do you guide the machine? I know when I began it took a lot more practice than I realized it would take. There is a huge learning curve with any type of long-arming. Are the thread issues on the bobbin side? Looks like some tension issues. Keep practicing, you learn something each time you work on a top.

I forgot to add, it is a computerized machine. We are having lots of fun learning, but want to fix the mistakes.

Can't help with that. All my work is hand guided. Good luck.

Oh, I hate to hear of your problems. Hope you get it figured out soon. I know when my sister got her LA, there was a huge learning curve. Hang in there.Dina

Can't help either..I hand guide so I know where the next row will be! From pics looks like on curves you have a bit of a tension prob.......signature thread is a great LA thread, but you must get lint out of bobbin area often...thinking about your eyelashes on back, that could be a lint in the way problem........just remember, you can't learn to L/A in a day....I've been "learning" for many yrs..........and by trial and error you will find "what works" for you......

Good luck with the learning curve. Thought the computer ones looked so easy when they demo them on quilting shows.

What system is it?

Innova auto pilot with LS

On the over lapping rows issue I would guess if you rolled your quilt between rows you did not line up your next row to the correct point. Regarding Signature thread, it is very linty. I got rid of all of mine due to lint and it causing multiple needle jams in my Innova. No problems with lint or thread jams since. I switched to Sew Fine thread.
Best of luck.
