Luckly, they only cost about $22.00 so I bought another one plus a spare. Well, now your back in busness! Hopefully this one lasts a very long time.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-92201282865450415382012-01-06T06:53:44.702-06:002012-01-06T06:53:44.702-06:00I have a two year old Juki also.

I have been experiencing very large stitches when quilting and my machine seems to get out of tension in the middle of projects. So far, I am not liking the Juki much at all. The space under the arm is fantasic, but the problems with the tension, stitch sizes, and that small little bobbin running out all the time.....irritating! Do you have similar problems? Any solutions?Lisa Wysockinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-8601291492557108882012-01-05T16:59:19.616-06:002012-01-05T16:59:19.616-06:00i love my walking foot....but you are right they a...i love my walking foot....but you are right they are so expensive. i hope mine lasts me for a good long time more.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183716038434262407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-701676092728758142012-01-05T16:11:27.551-06:002012-01-05T16:11:27.551-06:00richard,

My machine had to go to the hospital when needles & threads kept breaking if I went any more than quarter speed. Turned out the bobbin casing had somehow worked loose and all screws holding it had to be re-tightened. It's now a dream to use & I find myself wanting to sew much more than before!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439340776459295898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-17937969597855479542012-01-05T09:08:08.879-06:002012-01-05T09:08:08.879-06:00I had one 'malfunction' less than a year a...I had one 'malfunction' less than a year after getting my machine.

The man who maintenance the machine just laughs at me and says " normal sewers need their computer reset every 3-5 years" I sew way too much and have the machine in every 9-12 months. I guess it is the price we pay to keep our obsession [ mental therapy] alive and well.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031688737964746427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-46753070097590889952012-01-05T08:45:03.818-06:002012-01-05T08:45:03.818-06:00I can't wait to see what all that pink leads t...I can't wait to see what all that pink leads to!Pieces of Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262513374443159657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-41982555331819531202012-01-05T08:23:44.974-06:002012-01-05T08:23:44.974-06:00Honestly I'm not at all surprised!!
