Good luck! |
Yes, slow down. I had a Phaff Grand Quilter. It did the same thing. It is a fast machine but you will have to go slower. Later, I moved onto a Gammill. Good luck.

I am having exactly the same problems, any suggestions? I am so frustrated with it right now.

I see this is an old post, hope you still have the machine. I have had a pfaff grandquilter 1200 for about 5 years and I have never had trouble with it. I had more trouble with the frame it was on. Make sure the roller is on the machine bed and that you have good quilting thread. I have used several kinds. I just up graded to a 18 by 8 sold under pfaff or viking made by tin lizzie. Im learning to use it. It is a lot more picky and likes to break thread. I will get it lined out eventually.
good luck and patience |
A friend has a similiar set up and found that her frame was not totally level and square. It took some tweaking and now runs smoothly. She also loves the Glide thread in the bobbin.

I have the Pfaff Grand Quilter on a Grace frame. I discovered that I needed to change the plate. Once I did that it has worked fine. My grandson does a wonderful job, I still need more practice.

i have this machine also and have had very good luck with signature thread on the top and bottom. Did you oil the machine? it must be oiled OFTEN!!!

I have the Grandquilter 1200 and really like using it, have had it several years now and take it in about once a year for service; have had very good service from this quilter.
PM me if you want to sell and we can talk? delma |
