So, I'm not sure if it was just my software, new machine or a combination of both. I'm still having the z axis problem, but waiting to see if it is a pattern or just a "hic-up". After sewing the same design (a logo)about 6 or so times, I get an error message that has something to do with the z axis not responding quick enough and missing a command to go head up(i should write these things down <smile>)! So, I have gone into maintenance and click head-up, which gets me sewing again. BUT...I now know to make sure it hasn't changed my thread tension. I looked up after the last episode and my tension had jumped up to 200 instead of 4. Both times this happened I was doing lettering and didn't see that the machine changed my tension setting but I sure did notice that the next letter was nothing but loops!! I guess I'll call tech support t he next time it happens. Hopefully it will be on a weekday.
