I came here 3 yrs ago from Cleveland Ohio so it really is a new world for me. No one went out of their way to be helpful there so I'm still getting used to how nice things are here :)

Ok, so I am still having trouble with the bobbin catching when I am FMQ with the regular quilting foot. I am going to wait for him to get the straight stitch plate he is ordering for me and hopefully that will solve the problem. Either that or it's me. I don't know. cross your fingers and toes for me cuz otherwise this is a dream machine and i want to keep it.

Thank Goodness for our great dealers! I practically lived down at mine as I was learning to do machine embroidery. Mine is about 10 blocks away from where I live, so it's really easy to pop in whenever I have a question.

Oh I just love that shop. Those folks are really so helpful. Their other shop in Charleston is great too; if they still have it. I left S.C. in 2004 so I don't know if they have weathered the downturn in our economy. I sure hope so. Both shops were full of really wonderful people and great quilting treasures.

Both shops are unique and are awesome. I love to visit each year when I'm in SC. Even my dh can usually find some material for me when we go to Sommerville. I like the shop in Charleston too, small and quaint.

I'll look for you when I visit the Summerville Store. I know what you mean about wanting to work there. When I visit my LQS, I just want to stay. It is such fun being around all of those beautiful fabrics and quilting supplies. Hope to see you soon.

Have you tried adjusting the height on the foot (shortening or lengthening the spring by turning the screwy thing at the top of the foot)?
