Dinner Party on the Frame

 This dinner party lap-sized quilt is on the frame.

I am quilting it with the Circle Lord Wanders design.  It's probably not the best choice I could have made for it, but I wanted to see how my longarm responded to a design without circles or curves.  Hmmm.  It quilted for about an hour without shutting off at all.  That's starting to tell me that maybe cleaning or replacing the vertical sensors for the stitch regulator might be worth another shot.  I'll discuss the situation with my husband and he will help me troubleshoot more.

I'm putting off calling the service person.  He charged almost $300 just to come to the house last time (not including any parts or service.) I also want to try more trouble shooting before having to ship the head to Iowa again.  Shipping to and fro gets expensive as well.  But like I said, it worked GREAT last night with NO turning off or breaking thread.

I found this feathery flowery print in my stash.  It was the right size for the backing and I felt the right colors.  I'm quilting out of my comfort zone with lavender thread.
