LuAnn, Didn=92t you see the design was too big for the hoop? Our old machines have no detection. We just print out the design and lay it in the hoop. Havent hit a hoop in cant remember. Glad you got your problem sorted Anand Anand, The "Princess" must have just been in one in one of her "moods".;) I was stitching hats and the machine detected a "hoop limit error". Yes, I=20 did exceed the hoop limit. So, it got past that area, I manually moved it to=20 the next area of stitching, it finished that section, trimmed and stopped.=20 It just stopped. On the the computer monitor, it was showing that the=20 machine was running. Weird, but not a reason to panic. I noted the stitch=20 number that I was on and shut the machine off. Waited a few seconds, turned=20 it back on, advanced to that spot, and finished stitching the cap. End of=20 story. I am on the East Coast and this happened first thing in the morning, so=20 Melco was not open yet. I still need to give them a ring and see if this needs to be addressed by someone other than me. Thanks for your concern. LuAnn Subject: [amayausers] Re: HELP!! Are there any techs here? --=20 No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
