sounds like the machine may not be running fast enough and or the fabric may not be tight on the frame

I even ran it with no thread and then also no fabric, will let you know what chuck says tomarrow

Okay friends I spoke with chuck, he was very nice. He said the problem was that I needed to sew on a flat table for awhile before placing her on the frame, he said we quilters are so anxious to start quilting, ha ha ha, I said of course we are! We wait a couple weeks for machine and want to play with our new toy. So it has not jammed once sewing off frame, tomarrow or thursday I can sew on frame. I'm soooooo happy that I didn't have to ship her back, she will love her new home.

I have an LG II with a 15" Bailey -- you're going to be very happy with your setup :)

Make sure when you're practicing on the frame that you're using a full sandwich (fabric AND batting). I tried to practice with fabric alone, trying to keep from using up batting, and I ran into the same problems that you are.

If you haven't signed up on the Bailey group on yahoo groups, I HIGHLY recommend it. Lots of Bailey users in there that can guide you through the early learning stages.

Thanks rivka

What's the secret to signing up on the yahoo group? I couldn't get them to accept me for some reason.

... Sorry - I hit this twice and don't know how to delete the duplication

just wondering how it's going with your Bailey, love it? hate it? too busy to talk about it? LOL

Congrats. A new toy! Have fun!

I love it! Oh, but it was not instant love like I thought, I couple small gliches. You Have To sew off the frame for at least an hour is what I found, then can quilt on the frame. So I have named her Betsy Bailey. She and I are having wonderful quilt time together ( I wish we had met sooner) I have already quilted 7 quilts plus a couple of placemats and a large table runner. One of the quilts was a very thick and heavy jersey shirt quilt. I was concerned with how heavy it was on the frame and how thick with the weight on my Betsy but no problem at all they were both troopers! I just couldn't be happier. Oh also she really likes 100% cotton thread which I have found at connecting threads for a great price. Even cheaper than going to joanns with a coupon. Well I guess I wasn't too busy to chat. Lol
