Hopefully one of the techs will jump in quick...I can only tell you what happened to us... first couple times-it was out of 'oil' on the needle bar and it seized up...took some time to get oil down it, and WITH THE MACHINE SHUT OFF I reached up inside the belly of the beast above the hoop bar, and you can feel the motor shaft there...manually turn it carefully to free up the needle bar. I did this with a tech on the phone glued to my ear...then we oiled and oiled and oiled. Now they say 20 drops of oil, not 8! The last time it did it-started with a very painful and expense sounding 'kathunk' and the reciprcating cam follower doohickey snapped in half-it's hiding behind the removeable panel to the left of the needle bar. Had the service tech on the phone for this one-and as soon as I said "I see 2 pieces'...he said...I'll be up in 2 days with a new part. Warranty is so nice to have! So I hope you have problem 1 and not problem 2! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
