When I got my machine, I was given BLDR to set it up. Apparently no one wants to come out and set it up these days. Trying to do this via an app was a pain. The fact that there isn't a manual on how to maintain the machine is really frustrating as well. I've had to learn most of my machine via UA-cam University. I'm so glad he got it set up and ready to go for you.
Thanks Lorena glad your machine is up and going So glad your satisfied with Your decision to call Gammill it’s a big investment I learn a lot from you the best thing you are always so joyful
You are so right maintenance by a technician is worth every penny, mine has been coming every year and checking everything, also cleaning and oiling etc, but this year he said since I keep my machine very clean, just to make appointments every two years, unless an issue comes up. This keeps my machine in tip top shape and it is a workhorse. Loved your frank opinion, your videos are alway great. Thanks.
I have two machines for this very reason. A day without long arming is very costly. Both machines were set up by my dealer, who is not allowed, by the manufacturers instructions, to sell their machines without being technically certified. They are two different brands of machines.
Wow! So awesome! I, unfortunately, do not have a Gammill but, I go through and make sure everything is clean, oiled if needed and definitely check for thread in places it should not be. Up until a month ago my hair was almost 39” long. So, I know what it is like to clean thread out from around any moving part. My vacuum cleaner knows about the long hair.😊 I would always wear my hair up. Awesome coverage of places to review. I will do that later this afternoon because I am about to load a Queen-size quilt with washable wool batting. They live in a cold climate. Thank you for passing on so much knowledge and information. Truly, thank you. P.S. Love the new pup. 🐶 And, I do like my longarm…❤
Isn’t it concerning that nontechnical Gammill representatives did not set the machine up correctly, and it has ended up costing you? Seems like Gammill should take some accountability here. Or maybe I misunderstood?
The great thing about Gammill it is such a great machine that even despite how it was set up it has been working for 14 years without problems.. I didn’t even know it wasn’t set up right. These machines are work horses. But i do think Gammill should have people putting the machines together that know how they work and are able to set up the machine correctly. But even when it wasn’t’ the machine still worked
I suspect my longarm was set up wrong by the delivery person after watching this! Great tips! Thank you. For this work horse to run for 14 years with the wrong setup, wow! Great quality!
By any chance did the technician tell you the edge rider wheels should be replaced? I'm only curious because my technician convinced me to change my edge riders to Gammill wheels. I have an older machine and had bought the edge riders when they first came out. That was before computer machines came out.
Lorenna, could you do a show about how you run your longarm business? ( I.e. what you do at intake, how you figure out what you’ll charge, how to manage your invoices, etc.) I’m starting a business at home and I’d love to learn what other home longarm business owners manage that part of the business.

It's so nice to have a person who actually knows what they are doing. I don't have a long arm but is very informative, I really enjoy your program

Happy to hear you are up and running again because that means we can all get to see more of your awesome videos. ❤
It’s a wonder you got any work done. A good technician is worth the money. I will pay whatever my technicians ask to repair my industrial machines.

My machine isn’t under warranty any more. It hasn’t been under warranty for years.

Right.. they are great machines.
Wow, all new information to me too! Love the tip on cleaning with an old needle. Thank you for sharing!
I love tht quilt you have on the long arm (black and orange), can you share what pattern that is from?
I will ask my client
So informative!! Love your vids.

He tried but I said he’ll no
That's what I should have said.@@ToniNov25

Wow! How long did it take him to do all that?
3 hours .. service calls are only three hours
Holy crow! That was an expensive fix. But I’m glad to hear you got your machine running again and had a great experience with your service tech! 🤗
Thank you for this info. You are so helpful! ❤
