I have my Handiquilter table and HQ16 all set up and running. Now I am having a problem with vibration when I am quilting. The table is stable and not moving...just the quilt. Any hints or suggestions? Gloria |

| Do you have all three locks engaged with the quilt, back and batting evenly tensioned? I've never experienced this and hope you find the problem quickly. |

I found that the rails vibrated and were noisy. My dealer said to tape them down. I used blue painters tape and it works great. My quilt was not vibrataing. Ila |

| I had some vibration once and found out that the bars were not even. One of them was a bit higher than the other, when I got them both the same heights off the table it quit so I assumed that was the issue. Keeping in mind, I use a Gracie Pro table so mine is probably different than most. |

| I had my quilt vibrate a lot, and discovered it was because the back rail, where the quilt rolls on, was too high. Put it down, and not a bit of vibration. |

| I had a vibration problem when I first got my machine. The back rail being too high can cause the quilt itself to jump. I had a problem with the machine head vibrating. I took a piece of PVC pipe about 15 inches long, filled it with lead shotgun shot, and put end caps on both ends. When I work pantos from the back it straddles the front handles and makes things much more stable. I don't need it when working from the front. I guess my hands compensate for the weight. Good luck. |
