I have a Vision 18 and have started practicing quilting with stencils hoping to get past stippling and meandering. I am having trouble following marked lines because of some resistance in movement of the machine especially when moving the machine away from me and diagonally. My friend told me to clean the tracks but this didn't improve control of the machine. I've tried sewing fast and setting the machine to the slowest speed in regulated mode. I've tried a really loose relaxed grip and a firmer grip. I do have the microgrip handles. It still feels like i have to muscle the machine to go in certain directions. Is it me or the machine???Tags: None

Is the machine you are talking about a Tin Lizzie product?
If so, I can't help you, but can tell you that 4 ladies in my long-arm group have Tin Lizzies and they have complained alot about the same issues.
No matter what kind of machine you have, you need to contact your dealer to have it checked out. You shouldn't have to fight with the machine to get smooth stitches.

I have a Vision 26. It was a little stiff like that in the beginning, but now it moves a lot easier. I think it was a combination of practice for me and use for the machine. I am still not great, but can do much better than I had before.
What did the dealer tell you? I am curious. Thanks.

I was told to set the machine on constant instead of regulate. At the slowest speed I have a little more control but still meet some resistance which causes wobbling in the stitching line. I am willing to keep practicing though. Re the take up roller, it is in the same position the installers set it. I'll have to get my manual out to check the proper position and to find out what the harp is!! Thank you for the input.
