Thank you so much. I don’t have the Handi-Quilter long arm but I do have the Tiara III sit down long arm machine, I am just learning how to use it and found these videos so helpful when there is a problem. I was stitching just fine the other day, the tension was perfect when all of a sudden it started stitching very tightly, pulling and bunching the fabric as I stitched. Then I noticed the thread had come off the antenna that sits at the top of the machine where I first place the thread from the spool to thread it . Fixed it problem didn’t correct itself. After a very long time spent threading and rethreading, tension adjustments, checking the bobbin for lint, etc, I gave up. Today I pulled up this video I have watched before--I placed the bobbin in the case wrong! I even had gone as far as getting a new bobbin case, which arrived today, so I laughed at myself when this video talks about getting a new bobbin case! I didn’t need one, but, yes, now I have an extra one which is just fine with me! And I didn’t know what that piece in the bobbin case was called until today! I thought I bent it from when the fabric was pulling so much, as it was raised up some in the case. It seems to be ok though, so i guess I don’t need to worry about it. Thank you for sharing all this good information for the Handi-Quilter as it is helping learn about my machine as well!

wow.... So much I was not aware of....fine tuning the bobbin winder... Had no idea. Thank you both so very much. Bravo!

Very good video! thank you for sharing all of that.

Great video. Very concise and informational. I've been longarming for over 5 years and never knew some of these things!

Thank you! I have the Tiara III sit down long arm and use that same bobbin winder. Was having trouble with it winding more on one side than the other, this video helps me immensely! Also I have trouble with putting the oil in, I can’t see what I’m doing because it is located under the table that came with the machine so more than a drop of oil goes in. You answered my question when you said it was ok to wipe out the excess. That’s what I have to do. How often should I oil the racer in the bobbin area? Thank you for sharing all those tips.

Thank you for this very informative video! It was so helpful !!

I was just going to take the spring out of my bobbin case to use magnetic prewound bobbins!

Very informative.

Thank you or this very informative video. My bobbin winder is an older model, but it works . Still a lot of helpful hints. (The camera operator is improving...)

Can you please do a video of how to replace the back lash spring?
