    Have you ever had the horizontal stitches get long when the vertical stitches are even? My started doing this and I am up to my ears with quilts to quilt.

    Congratulations! The Voyager.17 was my first mid-arm and had that baby for 7 years before graduating to a longarm. She was wonderful and I had a blast with her. Hope you do, too!

    I had a Voyager 17 for about 10 years, and yeah it's a heavy sucker, but a great machine. Because of some medical problems I had to let mine go, and shed a few tears when it left. Once you get use to it, you'll start whipping quilts out in no time.

    Did you ever have problems with the stitches being longer in the horizontal direction? I have had this machine for over six years and never had this problem. I tried many things as per the company and it is still the same.

    Do you still have your Voyager as I have one also. My stitches all of a sudden are goofy and I am working with the company to see what is going on. I live in Alaska and so getting help is a bit difficult. Any ideas on why my machine slows down with some stitches when it is off stitch regulation mode and this only occurs on the side you would put a pantograph and not the free motion side?
    Any suggestions you could give me would be great.

    A Voyager was my first LA. It was a peach! You will love it. And yes - they weigh a ton lol. You could try some prewond bobbins while you wait for your winder!!

    Good luck with her.
