I was just seeing if there were other issues. The needle isn't down, as in all the way to the bobbin area. The needle is actually up, even w/others, the presser foot is directly behind the needle, but down so that it is even w/the bottom of the needle. I know this is confusing and probably doesn't make much sense. The E Stop wouldn't shut off at first. I turned the machine off, then back on and it then worked. The needle bar does move up and down w/me turning the z-axis rod. It is back at Needle 1 Hugo has serviced my machine, as well, so I can also touch base w/him. He has been very helpful in the past. I have been lucky in that I've had no major troubles w/my machine in the 3-4 yrs. I've had it, so this may be the end of my "good luck"...hope not. Thanks for your help and I'll keep you posted. If Hugo cannot come visit me, yes, I may take you up on your offer b/c I'm in the middle of some major deadlines. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
