Push in the e-stop & reach up around the head and turn the z shaft by hand, if it is hard to turn or you hear bad noises, I would stop & call my tech. If you can get it close to head-up, then try to manually move the needle case to get a needle over the presser foot hole. Now release the e-stop and see if you can get a true head-up position. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
