The problems persist :(

This is another video for the long suffering Crystal, who is trying to help me find out why the machine is not operating properly.

I've done the auto-set up for the motors, and checked the ER wheels, cleaned them again, found a short piece of thread tangled around the inside hub, removed it, but it's made no difference to the performance.

Even moving in a straight line along the bottom of the pattern the machine is jerking forward and uneven in speed.

Phoenix Quilting - no work getting done :(

This is for Crystal, as she tries to help me get my IQ working again!!  Even though I've cleaned and cleaned and everything is shining like a new pin, the stitching is not smooth and jumps around on horizontal components.

The problem persists even in the 'preview' mode

Also... I've stitched this 3 times, the first time on stitch regulated mode

Then on constant speed 2 further times

Each time I've used the same point as a reference to realign the pattern and each time its sewn the design further to the right??

Lesur

This is Lesur (spotty brown girl, not the very dark grey, or the pale cream ones), the (proven) male she was running with died 11 months ago (snake bite), so now I'm running a book on whether this girl is pregnant or not... shouldnt have too much longer to wait really!!

Let me know what you think?

Puppies at Play

Willo (and Frizo)'s puppies are getting bigger and playing more and sleeping less,  plenty of growling!

Poitiers

This video was taken May 10 and it looks like he doesnt want to put weight on either front leg!!

Farm Visit

Last weekend the tables were turned, and Freya brought Scarlett to the farm to visit us :)  It was fab.

Initially she was a little overwhelmed by the affections of Kiki and Yoyo, but she quickly learnt to make them 'sit'.

The vast amount of water in the dam was a huge attraction.

But the stuff lying around in puddles in the paddock was the best fun.

She enjoyed meeting the animals, and they were all keen to investigate the new little person in their midst!

Scarlett, Taco and Me

Lucky enough to spend some Sunday time with Scarlett again this weekend.  Taco, the budgie, is getting very tame and Scarlett is learning to let him come to her and not to chase him!  And we had cuddle time - cant beat that!
