When the machine began to stitch the object the head began making really large movements from side to side, almost like it was trying to do a very long satin stitch. Before the large move it would sometimes execute a trim cycle which only sometimes trimmed the thread. During this, when I pressed the red pause button, sometimes the machine did not stop. Then when I would stop the machine and try to reload the design, I got the message that I could not reload the design. Rebooting the Amaya allowed me to load a design again. I changed all the complex fill objects to fill pattern #4 and the problem went away. What am I not understanding about fill pattern #1?
