I was trying to stitch the number 79 using Boffo DAK font at 1.75", 100% column width on cap. I got a z-axis error and the machine stopped. Had to bring down and restart which corrected the problem. I am having deja vu on this, seems to me this was discussed awhile ago and there was mention of the satin columns being too wide causing this error to occur. Did I dream this or could that be the case? The satin column on that font at that height is over a 1/4 inch. Would a split work for this and if so would someone be willing to do this form me, I don't have the capability with my version of Design Shop. Another question unrelated to this.....are there any Amaya owners in this group in southern Mississippi? Wendy Solomonson Itchin' To Stitch Arlington, MN (507)964-2224
