I have been quilting just a couple of years now and did buy a MegaQuilter. I absolutely love it. The tension comes pre-set and I have only had to adjust it a couple of times. The trick for me is to jot down how many clicks I adjust the tension and then put it back that many clicks as soon as I finish that project. That way I always am at the factory preset. It is seriously fast and easy to use and there is plenty of room to maneuver. And it is very sturdy, with stainless steel bobbins. It has been perfect for me as a new quilter, I would recommend it highly.

Kathy, I had the same trouble with wadded up bobbin thread. I just gave the bobbin tension, on the bobbin carriage a little tweak. I cleared it right up. Also if you are doing alot of quilting ,you need to oil your machine regularly. I also have found I can not use Coates cotten thread., it will run about 9-12 inches and break the top thread. Keep at it and don’t ge to frustrated. I was about 4 months getting the Coates thread thing fiqured out. But now all is well in quilt land. Good luck.

I AM NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE PUT THE DARNING PLATE OVER THE NEEDLE PLATE, I HAD’NT AND SINCE I HAVE DONE THAT THE TENSION IS FINE AND I AM HAPPILY PRACTICING AGAIN. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hey fellow quilters. I am thinking about purchasing the Mega Quilter or something like it; but, would like to hear others thoughts before making my decision. I also heard that the throat space comes up to 20 inches as well? Does anyone use the Quilt Sew Clever bot? Any feedback would be wonderful!

To Kathy, Sure hope by now you have your answer. I’ve had my MQ for 3yrs. I was plagued with the same problem when first using the MQ. Remember, pressor foot down before sewing, re-thread the machine with manual in hand, make sure the needle is in correctly, check the bobbin, make sure the bobbin is in the caseing correctly, bring the bobbin thread up through the plate. I always keep a long scrap of fabric hanging on the end of the Inspira frame, I use it to check the stitching with every bobbin change. It there’s a problem with the stitches I can trouble shoot without any ripping! Hope this is helpful to someone out there. I love my MQ!
