I haven't been on here much (looking but not posting) because I've been busy with my new toy! I had a heck of a time getting the tension worked out- it came from the factory with the top tension WAY too tight and I kept thinking it was me!

Sorry you had tension problems, I got my Sweet Sixteen in November, and not one problem with tension, in spite of useing cotton, poly cotton and rayon on top, plus either matchin thread in the bobbin, or two different specific (finer) bobbin threads.

Born2Sew 01-17-2011 05:49 AM

In the picture, it looks like it is as long as a semi.

Awesome xmas present! You are so lucky to have such a huge craft area!

Kathy-Pgh 01-18-2011 05:23 AM

Am I jealous or what? Enjoy

QuiltswithConvicts 01-18-2011 05:34 AM

I took this one for a test drive & felll in love with it! I have the HQ home machine frame, but want more throat space. Was at a dealers who had it all set up. So easy to use. Can't beat the price either!! I have started saving my oil checks for it. At the price of oil, I should have the money in no time! :)

Have a great time playing & learning.

Mariposa 01-18-2011 05:39 AM

Pam- congrats on the new machine!! I have an HQ16 myself, and love it!

so-sew 01-18-2011 06:16 AM

Wowee! Lucky you....must have been a VERY good girl last year.

suebee 01-18-2011 06:30 AM

Very cool Pam. Nice present, looks like the perfect room too.
I love the color of your walls. So you did get your tension set finally? How goes the quilting? Thanks for sharing.
