A Motor!! My machine is only 5 months old!! I was able to stitch out another design without the problem happening. I am going to run that same font and size one more time though to see if it happens again.

I had the same thing happen a while back. It turned out it was a bad "Y" motor...I sure hope that's not the case for you! BEST WISHES! Judy
