Lucy is coming home today!
Two weeks ago I had a piece of thread wrap around my bobbin area on my long arm and it created a head stall. While trying to clean it out, the timing was thrown out. Had to take it to an out of state shop to get fixed. The tech cleaned and timed it. When he put it back together, had a problem. Thought it was the ribbon cable so ordered that, still a problem. Ended up having to get new stitch regulator and he said it works now. I guess that was why sometime when it was stitching it would being sewing fine and all of a sudden start racing. Can't wait to get her home, up and running!

Glad things are working again! I have the service tech coming out this Thurs--bought the Gammill used 3 years ago and while I've done some maintenance work (cleaning and had to replace the electrical power source!) I'm afraid of the whole timing thing! After hitting a couple of rulers (argh!) and having a rats nest of thread wrapped around the horizonal wheel on the stitch regulator and now I keep flatlining when moving fast on the horizonal, I'm little worried about what he might say. Hope the $$ is too high.

It is always good to have things working right. Bet she feels better too!

Enjoy having her back home.

Two years ago, the magnetic went out on my long arm. My husband and I changed it with instructions from
APQS. The timing had to be redone. The instruction included how to do it. I was surprised that it took only one try. Thank goodness that is the only time it happened in 11 years. I am glad you have your machine back. |
You'll feel so much happier when she gets home.
