WOW!! So useful! Size 18 BOOM! What a tip! That did it!!! I was having so many problems with skipped stitches (batik, warm and natural, batik). Switching to a size 18 needle absolutely did the trick! Thank you. Your information is most useful and appreciated.

@mandyottley9497 Год назад

I just watched this video regarding skipped stitches. Oh my goodness!!! I had been fighting with my Qnique 15. I love this machine. It has been such a great mid arm quilting machine until…… multiple skipped stitches. I tried lots of different fixes.. tension, bobbin, re-thread, change thread, change needle. When you said sometimes the whole pkg of needles is bad, I tried a different pkg. Now my machine works great again!!!! Thank you so very much!

@LizTheParront 5 месяцев назад

I'm so glad I found this video. I've been having a TERRIBLE time with long stitches. Until I saw your video I didn't know this had a name, much less what to do about it. After watching the video I checked my encoders and sure enough! That was my problem. THANK YOU!

@cr2884 2 года назад

So glad I stumbled upon this video. I’m the one who forgot what to use to clean tracks. Appreciate the reminder.

@geauxdoe1 Год назад

It worked!!!! In love with my longarm again! Thank you so much! I just had my quilt top too tight! Thank you again!!!!❤

@jolene41062 2 года назад

Thank you! Clear and easy steps to get the machine back in order. I checked things out and did some of your suggesting and now I have a beautiful stitch again.

@jeanlajoie2000 3 года назад

Hi Lori, Thank you. I was trying to adjust my timing because of skipped stitches and when I saw your video I learned that timing was not the issue. I returned to the machine followed your advice and suddenly all was normal again. Thank you.

@QuiltersHeadquartersSiouxFalls 3 года назад

You’re very welcome!

@craigjackson8978 Год назад

Thank you. This is the BEST explanation I have found. I am saving this in my playlist.

@5kidsmyhusbandandme 2 года назад

Oh my goodness! This is the best video!! I was trying & trying to get my machine to work. It was making the long stitches. We had moved my quilter downstairs & I was super afraid it had messed the timing up even though we were extremely careful. When I went to look at the encoders I had failed to plug one up. Thank you so much for this video!! It’s back to quilting like a dream! You guys are awesome. ❤️

@airmom8716 2 года назад

Thank you so much! Wow, that was such helpful info. I have a Handy quilter Avante. It is a used machine and just a few months with me. I have been learning a lot about tension from them. I entered skipped stitch into RU-vid and found you. Thank you for the handout! I have my quilt rolled too tight. I have linen fabric which may be rough and I changed the needle and have rethreaded. I will check if I have pin holes where it is skipped and check the rollers and clean. Funny, just when you think you have checked everything, there is new info and I am so greatful for it!

@poetsmalll7364 2 года назад

Wow, this helped me so much! I have been fighting with my thread, quilting machine, tension, etc. I slowed my machine down after checking everything and it works! The extra level of detail was very helpful. Thank you so much! I will definitely share this information with people that have the same issues! I am also going to check out your shop online.

@stargoodhand2330 2 года назад

Thank you...saved the day!! My quilt top was too tightly wound and my new foot wasn't low enough!! Great tips...Yippee

@Nanners1222 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! The info on the quilt tension and hopping foot position are both new things to check and have helped me a lot. Great info!

@vickiharris53 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. It makes some issues I'm having fixable. Looking forward to more videos from you.

@Gailorj54 3 года назад

I just bought a used HQ Avante. My first trial had a mix of problems. Your videos are helping me figure out what my issues are. Thank you!

@wendyhaney692 3 года назад

This was wonderful!! I'm praying this helps me take care of the problems I experienced today. Sounds like I have long stitches and I think only vertically. Did the cleaning and all per my quilt store, but still happening. I think think I'll switch out the needle again (have a new pack of them). Hoping for a better day tomorrow. THANK YOU!

@marlenecarvajal3857 3 года назад

Disregard my question because you answered it. LOL.

@geauxdoe1 Год назад

This has been helpful information. I have been having issues with skipped stitches and I planned to try some of your suggestions! Thanks SO much!!!

@robertaevanson1935 3 года назад

Thank you. It would be great if you would post Part II and talk about additional tension issues like eyelashes, loops, etc. This video truly helped this newbie.

@QuiltersHeadquartersSiouxFalls 3 года назад

Thanks..We are going to do more videos soon. Good suggestion.

@jennifercook474 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for answering these questions!! I learned a lot with this video!

@lyndabuchholz1216 11 месяцев назад

Great video. I sent the link to my daughter. Had trouble hearing"bob?" and the camera focused on the handle not the needle but I got it anyway. thanks!!

@quiltingfairy1329 3 года назад

THANK YOU!!! Although I have been using my Babylock Jewel 18" longarm for 10+ years I have learned something very valuable today. My set up was too tight! As soon as I loosened off my rollers and relaxed the quilt tension it made a big difference. I have not seen this tip anywhere else! I also changed my needle (again, just for good measure). All of a sudden, no thread breakage and I was able to concentrate on adjusting good tension, starting with the bobbin and then small adjustments on the top tension. Amazing! I was pulling my hair out before this.

@little1942 2 года назад

Excellent instructional video. Very informative. Thank you so much. I’ve learned a lot from this.

@brynm8166 3 года назад

Thank you, this was helpful. I have a Qnique 14+ and am experiencing the skipped stitches. I changed out the needle to a size 14. I believe it is too small and have ordered the 16 and 18 needles. Otherwise, I am still having issues with my machine, going through all of your steps. I thought moving the hopping foot down would finally do the trick, but unfortunately, it didn't. I have printed out your information for future reference. Thank you again!

@peggylast1535 8 месяцев назад

thank you!! i was getting sooo frustrated i really appreciate you and this video. thank you.

@donnablodgett6698 4 года назад

Thank you for this great information. I have an issue with "skipped" stitches. I will certainly use the information in this video to figure out what's going wrong and how to fix the issue. Thank you again.

@cindysiepert 6 месяцев назад

Is there a video showing how to set timing. My bobbin case carrier was loosened and now I can’t get the timing correct. Thanks. This is the first video I have seen of yours. I will be using those tips once I get the machine timed

@pattymacdonnell1842 3 года назад

Thank you for the wonderful information. I am having long stitch problems.. so I will look at the encoders..

@tbaker6938 3 года назад

Great info. Any idea why I can get great tension except on vertical stitching lines. Looks like stitches are crooked and flat lines

@1951Gayle Год назад

Thank you so much. This information met my needs.

@quilton9349 Год назад

I'm so glad I found your site. I just got QCT5 for my Q'nique21 Longarm. I'm getting long stitches only when the machine goes from left to right when using the quilt motion program. Sometimes the needle stays in the fabric and pulls and is dragged. When free motion quilting its mostly fine. Maybe you can help me.

@catherinevoice2062 Год назад

Download her list, and then go through each step, as I have had the same problem pop up, I have 21 Pro and QCT 5 Beg. Also double check all plug in's, I'm thinking I had my quilt too tight to quilt on. So I am trouble shooting right now.

@quilton9349 Год назад

@@catherinevoice2062 Thanks. I actually realized that one of my encoders was way too loose. I reset it and have since quilted 3 charity quilts for my Guild.

@deenayates5254 4 года назад

@danecalvin3339 3 года назад

You prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother lately xD

@palmasmyth6605 5 месяцев назад

What about thread tension? I use a sit down Sweet Sixteen and have problems with skipped stitches and am thinking that too tight thread tension is one cause of my skipped stitches.

@christinewozniak623 2 года назад

Very helpful, thank you

@sandan2358 3 года назад

My needle went crazy yest and hit my stitch plate several times and now I’m getting shipped stitches. The needle makes holes in fabric but not catching the bobbin. I put in a new needle cleaned machine and still skipping. Do you think I need timing checked?

@QuiltersHeadquartersSiouxFalls 3 года назад

More than likely the needle bar height changed. You would always want to check needle bar height BEFORE changing timing. Depending on what machine you have, there are often instructions as well as tools to help you do this. Once the needle bar height is right, the timing may very well be right where it should be.

We Moved from Texas to N Carolina my Nolting 24 Pro was boxed for 6 months One of my encoder broke in the move and now has been replaced Im getting long stitches and some skipped stitch and my thread keeps breaking

@alfa5243 3 года назад

Good information

@JuliePettyjohn 3 года назад

@wandamack8748 Год назад

I am using the 10 stitches per inch, but changed bobbin and now they are a little bigger and a little loose, why is this happing?

@lizmeyering3157 Год назад

I get the long stich under my quilt from the bobbin, I think.

@marlenecarvajal3857 3 года назад

What is an encoder? New to Long Arm. 😊

@QuiltersHeadquartersSiouxFalls 3 года назад

The encoders drive the stitch regulator which make the stitch size consistent no matter what speed you are moving the machine.

@219SandPond 10 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@TheGranChris 3 года назад

What are you cleaning the tracks with to prevent cracking and drying out?

@QuiltersHeadquartersSiouxFalls 3 года назад

Scrap batting with no solutions.

@cr2884 2 года назад

Thank you for the reminder. I was going to ask as well. Wrote answer down as I had forgotten

@sharfield3959 3 года назад

Thank you. I am a newbie with a Q’nique 19 on a Grace hoop pro frame. I can’t seem to find your posted instructions to print off. Any help would be appreciated.

@gailneumann89 7 месяцев назад

I have no encoders and I get intermittent long stitches (2 inches + long). So frustrated 😢

@debracampos1029 2 года назад

What if they skipped stitches happens in the same exact location on the continued edge to edge design?

@wandanoseworthy1794 Месяц назад

@gwendolynhealy2354 3 года назад

@gailneumann89 7 месяцев назад

How to you adjust the foot height please?

@gmb3012 2 года назад

Can you please repost the “Cheat Sheet”? Thank you in advance

@sandan2358 3 года назад

Thank you, I’m new to long arming. What’s an encoder please?

@brynm8166 3 года назад

The encoder regulates your stitches.

@debracampos1029 2 года назад

Is there a way to fix a skipped stitch if you notice it after the quilt is finished and you removed the quilt.

@mrskleclerc 2 года назад

A sewing needle. Hand stitch it.

@josiemarquez3903 3 года назад

Machine won’t sew horizontally. I cleanse the encoders. What else could it be?

@QuiltersHeadquartersSiouxFalls 3 года назад

Try unplugging then plug in again. Both ends of encoder cable. That don’t work try plugging in the other encoder to that port in see what happens. Bob

@donnablodgett6698 4 года назад

Where is the cheat sheet? I can't find it. Thanks
