What I learned on the Long Arm today.

My lessons on my Voyager this week were foot height adjustment and timing - lol.

Everyone use "eyebrow shapers" they come 3 in a pack from Walmart cosmetics area..by the eyelash curlers etc..they are great stitch rippers and do not cut fabric..

Clip the bottom thread. Continue to use one point of the tweezers to remove the stitches. After several stitches, pull the bottom thread to the top. Continue to remove the top thread and pull up the bottom thread until you have removed the portion of stitching you want to remove. DON'T just remove the top without bringing up the bottom thread unless you feel like crawling under your frame with a flashlight to find the bottom thread to cut it! I know I have too much stuff under the frame and I also have trouble getting up once I'm down! Hope this helps. I have a Voyager/ Hinty Stretch frame.
