I finally got back to having the Q24 and Q-Matic working on Torrent's quilting. I set it up to quilt the edge-to-edge pantograph, got it started, watched for a little bit then started doing something else.
That was a mistake.
I thought the machine would be fine on it's own, but I was wrong. Next thing I knew, it was all tangled up in the batting and was ripping and pulling and trying to continue quilting. I ran over there and stopped it - too late!
I got out the scissors and seam ripper and got it all untangled. The quilt top has one small tear near the edge - it will probably be fixable.
But, the machine is making funny noises - a scrapping and a clunking. Although, it still sews a nice stitch, I don't think I should be running it. I called my repair man - he says he won't be able to come out for a while. So, It'll be down for a week at least.
I'm so embarrassed. I knew better than to leave it alone while it was near the edge. Some lessons are hard to learn.
