Use different colored washi tape to remind you which plug goes where. Love this video. Thank you!

When seat belting, consider pulling the seat belt out far enough that it locks (when you get the click-click-click as you retract the belt) then release it so it's against the sewing machine. Then any quick but not 'emergency quick' braking will still hold it tight.

Excellent tip. I actually did this yesterday when I picked up my machine to take it back home after it's spa day!!

Our tech suggested to unplug the 2 cables on the back of the ProSticher mounting bracket because they could get pinched if it leaned back

Great ideas but trying to find a local tech that works on HQ machines is very difficult.

Could you please tell me where to order the light bar you have above the quilting frame. I definitely need one for my frame.
@HandiQuilter 7 ай бұрын
www.handiquilter.com or at your local retailer.

Where I bought my machine is no longer in business, how do I find out where to take it? Also, what is the time frame they should have your machine? Thanks.

If you go to the Handi Quilter website and do the store locator, you will be able to find locations near you. The timing depends on the retailer and their schedule and how many other machines they are working on. I know I took my personal machine in yesterday and was told it would be a couple weeks. Some places can get it done in a couple days. Just depends.

Dont you have to worry about the encoders when it is not on the carriage? I am afraid i will hurt it.
@HandiQuilter 7 ай бұрын
I have never had any issues with the encoder. You will still be gentle though.

It seems to me that these machines are very fragile. I do take my domestic in and have it looked over ever so many years but these machines seem to need more care. I like doing as much as I can because I live remotely so having to take a machine to the dealer is a long 2 way trip and gas isn't cheap anymore.
@debbielittlejohn8342 7 ай бұрын
It's no different than servicing your car or your domestic machine...2 years or 10M stitches...the internal lubricant wears down and needs to be replenished...small price to pay to keep them going...preventative maintenance is just that, prevents problems before they happen!
@lyndabuchholz1216 7 ай бұрын
Yes but I can service my car unless there is a bad problem and I can service my domestic sewing machine until I want to have it checked over. @@debbielittlejohn8342

Your video content is great but the resolution is very grainy and choppy. It's been like this for a while. Perhaps watch your videos on a smart TV and adjust your recording settings. I have trouble staying tuned in because after a while the choppy video starts making me feel a bit seasick.
@dawnnelson3280 7 ай бұрын
I think it’s whatever you’re watching on. Nothing wrong with the videos.

@@dawnnelson3280 I'm watching it on a smart TV. None of the other videos I watch are choppy like theirs.
@HandiQuilter 7 ай бұрын
I am sorry that you are experiencing this. This is the first time we have heard about this being an issue for anyone. Other viewers using smart TV are not having the same problem. I will pass this information onto the marketing team so they can look into it.

No issues with playback...very clear on my smart TV or computer monitor...tried both
