It never ceases to amaze me, the things that can mess us up in the middle of working on a project.

Same here.

Umm I am a bit picky but my ladies so appreciate being able to do a basic maintenance service of their machines as local servicing is a bit thin on the ground locally, temperamental in service and EXPENSIVE. So much so although I am in North Wales I send mine all the way up to Scotland, hundreds of miles and a different country but IMO worthwhile!

So the more my ladies can do themselves the better, shame my computer expertise doesn't help with posh machines

Recently, my top thread was pulling down to the back of the quilt. I changed everything, cleaned, rethreaded, and finally turned the machine off and waited a while and went back to it later. It worked. I have always found it to be "operator error" in my case. LOL!!

I think that is great. And it sounds like you have given them the knowledge they need.

slbram17

Probably a lot of problems are operator caused. Good that it got straightened out for you.

OMGsh! I've never thought about cleaning the tension slot. Thanks.

I hadn't either. But on another machine (front loading bobbin), I was having all kinds of stitch issues and just finally took a closer look at the bobbin case, where a tiny piece of a thread got caught in the slot. Fixed it.
