thanks, the bottom is doing frustrating loops, and as if that weren't enough the stupid thing skips great long spaces then reconnects only to skip again. I just did a quilt where after the initial flubbing was over with. (Because it has to do that with every one in one place or another) It went well. Now it went well then the last half of the quilt I have had to cut out stitches twice to what I put in and leave. It isn't very much fun. I even marked my settings so I wouldn't get them off if I bumped them and changed to the needle package that came with the machine and machine quilting thread as recommended the whole shebang. It still isn't fun.
