Can't think of anything at all. My Juki is a perfect machine for frame quilting. My Voyager 17 will be here next month. All of my machines run perfectly(I have 19 of them). Amie

I go through bobbin thread like crazy when I free motion quilt. I don't like to have to stop to put in a new bobbin. I like to hit the gas & giddyup :)

I don't think I have any pet peeves about machine quilting... I've done it twice now, on my regular sewing machine, and I love everything about it!

Just never enough time to do it!

I agree with MMQ - running out of bobbin thread is the pits!

1quiltinnana - mine is a Juke machine on a B-Line quilt frame. It works good for what it does. The small throat on the Juki is very limiting.

If you use prewound bobbins they last longer. I get mine on Ebay and have had no problems with them. I also have the HQ16 and love it is the Voyager a stretched machine?
