I didn't plan to do that from the beginning and yes, the first few blocks looked different from the rest, but they were pretty mixed up in their arrangement so it didn't matter too much. Mostly I changed colors to create contrast for the video so you could see what I'm doing. You don't have to change colors if you don't want to.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-8461695520096405622017-06-25T21:46:56.683-04:002017-06-25T21:46:56.683-04:00Yes, I always change the bobbin and the top thread...Yes, I always change the bobbin and the top thread together because otherwise it will show in the form of little dots or pops of color from one side to the other.

I've been needing to service this Juki so if you notice me change machines in the next few weeks that's why!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-20373324081646882312016-10-01T09:45:24.821-04:002016-10-01T09:45:24.821-04:00Leah, I am interested in the Juki machine I see yo...Leah, I am interested in the Juki machine I see you using. I am assuming it is a straight stitch only. I have a Janome Horizon but would like to have a Juki for quilting only. What is the model name/#?

I had rethreaded, reinstalled a new needle (the same one) without improvement. THANK YOU for having the same problem and a solution!!

Print the page, measure the sample for accuracy. With my printer, the 3 inch square measured 2 5/8 inches. This can be adjusted with printers that have a Custom Scale % in the Print window. The formula is: Desired Size ➗ Actual Size = Custom Scale %. in my case 3 ➗ 2 5/8 = 114. I adjusted my Custom Scale to 114% and my sample correctly printed at 3 inches.
