Beautiful but cold day!
I started quilting on my brother but didn't like the way it was going so i pulled out my Janome.
I will use it today and see if it does it better. Need to contact the lady that has one to ask her some questions .I will have to go back in my email to see if i can find where she emailed me and pray my stupid email will reply to her.
I always put up some things that his brother who died on 1984 made when he was a kid too.
Christmas is always a sad time for me.
Thank God i have so many kids and grand kids and now so many g-grands.
God has blessed me with family.
Have a great day friends and a great Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Quilt happy

I too love a homemade tree. one year had seashell ornaments from shells we got on a trip to Marthas vineyard. included pics of the grands too. was nice. stay warm and have a great day quilting.
I have the Brother PQ1500 , happy to help you if I can!

It's important to match your pressure setting with your feed dog setting, so check that first. I purchased a spare bobbin shuttle so I could set it "just right" for free motion quilting and I have the other bobbin shuttle for ordinary sewing.
If you are straight line quilting, I set the length to 3 but I don't drop the feed dogs at all and I leave the pressure setting at normal too. I use a quilting needle and a walking foot. I don't use the "pin feed" setting unless I'm working with very fine silks or rayons, so you need to make sure you haven't accidentally turned your feed dog to that setting. I go right down to the bottom feed dog setting for free motion quilting.
Also, make sure you are threading the top thread correctly, take a look at your manual and follow that. You cannot miss out that first thread guide before you take the thread around the tension discs. So your top thread must be going through that first thread guide three times, first down then up to the top and then back down again to the needle.
The PQ sews very fast, so a nice fine thread works well. I like Wonderfil or a fine Sulky.
Email me anytime!

My brother's birthday was 12/11. I lost him when he was 51 in 1997. I guess yours was younger. It is hard to remember the ones we lost.
