You're not giving up are you Musicmaker? I know it's very inconvenient for
you, but could you bring the quilt you are not able to quilt on the Quest to
your dealer & demonstrate for them how you are doing it? And maybe they
could show you how they would do it & see if you both fail? If you can free
motion a small quilt, IMNSHO, you should be able to quilt a bed sized quilt
on it. Maybe there is something quirky about the BL that nobody has thought
to tell you? I feel for you; I know this has been extremely frustrating!

The dilemna I face is this - the new machine is so much better in many
ways - when I free motion quilt a small quilt, like a wall hanging -
it works like a dream. When I piece with feed dogs up, it works great
- the old quest didn't - so that's a big improvement. BUT - when I
put a bed sized quilt in it, broken threads and skipped stitches - and
I know it's not my technique because I got out my faithful little
mechanical Bernina and finished the quilt my Quest couldn't do. Maybe
my Bernina is just compatible with me and the Quest isn't. I know
there are people using the Quest who love it.

anyone want to buy a brand new Quest Plus at 30% off retail?
