I started at needle 16 and went all the way back to needle 2 and then tried to move over to do a head up on needle one when it got stuck and would nly go 1/2 way between needle 2 and needle one. The machine made a nasty noise and stopped and I got a I look under the sensor menu and most every thing x axis -952 y axix -146 z axix -20 color change blocked and the rest are open I got the error "Color change timeout" and the needle is stuck between 1 and 2 and if I try to move back to a different needle, it does not go to the correct position but stays half way between correct positions until I restart the machine. Still will not go all the way over to needle one though. At some point in trying to figure out what is going on I get this error "color change stepper index error - off index when sewing" I don't see anything stuck or anything physicall holding it up. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
