Saturday started bright and early as I was expecting my longarm. Butterscotch was in the window on the lookout.
It fits perfectly where I anticipated. 7 feet from the driveway wall and 5 feet from the laundry room wall. The ceiling fans are centered above the table the the power cord drops from the ceiling just past the edge of the table. The power cord has a twist lock mechanism so it can’t fall out or accidentally be pulled out.
Before Ethan left, I made sure the machine was working. After all my tech support is no longer an hour away. The closest Innova dealer is 5 1/2 hours away!
I had great plans to get a quilt quilted over the weekend, but I ran into tension issues. It is partly a poorly wound bobbin and mostly a bad backlash spring in the bobbin case. I really thought it had been replaced, but apparently not. I think I had 2 ordered before Ethan got out of the driveway.
As you can see, I spent no time at all putting boxes under the longarm. They all need to be gone through, but I need flat surfaces to do that. So, I guess tonight I’ll wind another bobbin to see if I can get the tension correct, then start to move boxes out of the space. I think the books I’ll stack against the wall in my office and the albums I’ll put in the front bedroom.
I’m in the Market for an upgrade. Had Tension problems with Betsy last week. Changed the bobbin. Gotta check it again for the drop test. See how much to loosen or tighten it. Can’t get parts if any other things go wrong. Happy Quilting!
