Fixed it -

 

 

At least I think we did - 

 

I thought about it a bit more -

And I thought that it might be that the frame is not level -

And that the right side is a bit higher than the rest - 

 

The carriage stops wherever I put it -

But if I move it all the way to the right -

It rolls back to the left and stops at about the same spot as my "hang up" - 

I think it's trying to go "uphill" at that spot - 

And the quilt is hitting the rails - 

And that little bit of "resistance" is causing the "drag" -

 

 

So I had my grandson adjust the feet on that side - lower them -

But they are as low as they can go - 

He then tried adjusting the left and middle feet up a little - 

And they are as high as they can go -

So it didn't make any difference - 

Then I thought that I needed to find something to put under the left feet - 

To raise them up a bit -

If I couldn't lower the right ones - 

So we could try that later - 

I could call the dealer -

But he adjusted it the best he could when he was here - 

So that would probably be a dead end - 

Or - I could just live with it - LOL - ;))

 

THEN - 

 

He fixed it!!!! - YAY!! -

 

He got some cardboard -

Folded it up and stuck a piece under each of the left feet -

That made no difference - 

So he took them out and stuck them under the middle feet -

 

Now the carriage stops at the right end like it should - YAY!!!

 

 

I clamped on an old practice quilt - 

And lowered the bars - front and back - one notch -

So the machine and carriage could go under them - 

 

Then I practiced swirling the machine around in big circles on that end -

And it seemed to move smoothly with no "drag" - 

 

But the true test will be when I do the next quilt - 

So we'll see - 

Hopefully it won't "drag" somewhere else - 

After we played with that - 

I decided to trim my Happy Trails - 

 

And some of the Opal KaBloom pieces - 

The little ones are about 5" square - 

So I think they can be coasters or mug rugs when I bind them - 

 

I cut the WHITE/BEIGE one at 12" square - 

So it could probably be a pillow cover - 

 

And the BLUE/YELLOW one is cut at 21" square - 

If I add a border - I can make it into a 20" pillow cover -

 

So -

 

Now I need to get some binding made - 

 

And decide what to quilt next - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
