Louise,
Your quilt is a show stopper, a real kaleidoscope of color!! I love it. Where do you plan for it to go?

HELP! I've made four quilt tops in the last two months and was starting to machine quilt the first tester on my new quilting frame.

This video demonstra
This video demonstrates how to fix / adjust / repair the timing of the hook on a sewing machine. If the thread from your needle isn't getting caught by the hook that rotates around, this video explains what to adjust to fix that. Requires some very basic tools and takes 15-30 minutes - maybe less.
