Quest education

Posted by Alice on November 26, 2007, 11:24 pm

Well today I had two hours with an instructor from Babylock and we
went over all the questions I had concerning my new Quest. Some
things are just easier when you see them done, instead of reading
about them. I found out that the instructor recommended Schmetz or
Klasse needles. She also recommended Mettler thread. (Please don't
cringe...my old Singer was perfectly happy with C & C). I found that the
needles that came with the machine seemed either too large, or dull. They
weren't
marked so I couldn't tell what they were.

The instructor was very helpful. I don't think she had used this machine
much, so we were learning together!
She recommended the mini-vacuum set that attaches to a regular vacuum
cleaner for keeping the machine clean...she does not like "canned air"
because it can push lint further into the depths of the machine.

We spent quite a bit of time exploring the Memory functions and the
different stitch patterns, elongating, mirror image , etc. I want to
spend more time playing with those features to understand them better.

If I have any further questions, I can call or email her; the shop is also
going to add me to their mailing list for classes, etc.

So even though it was a dreary, foggy, rainy day, the hour drive each way
was well worth it!
