Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/1/814.html I am having trouble with my machine. I keep getting the "Z axis timeout error" massage every time it CUTS. It sews just fine. It only messes up when it cuts the thread. When it cuts I hear a loud thud, or banging noise. And the thread gets tucked up under the bobbin handle. (The little thing you flip out to hold the bobbin that also locks it in place).. I don't know how the thread gets under the handle, but it does. I use the maintenance head timing, to raise the head up, and and untangle it manually, and then proceed to sew again. I have read several post about the same issues but no exact answer to fix it... thanks a bunch for any help... Pat Little Scrubs and Co.
