The message(s) I get: "Selector stepper index error - not on index while sewing" and also the same message about the trimmer. I have an the red AMAYA and current software. The machine will stitch, however it doesn't trim and stops for each color change to give me an error code; I have to trim the thread manually, cancel the msg and push start to get it going again. So far I have: 1. cleaned and oiled the trimmer 2. uninstalled and reinstalled my software, just to be certain. . . .I recently changed to Vista and also had to change my software versions to get it to work at all. . . 3. called tech and gone through the troubleshooting steps with them - detect trimmer, test, etc. (My trimmer does not always move, and makes a horrendous noise during the test). Which led me to remove the cover over the PCB and blow off any lint, and checked and re-seated all the connections. 4. I took the cover off the arm so I could see the front of the cables, cleaned out the dust, etc. I did the 'test' function again. . .still no better, and the noises seem to be coming from further back in the machine, behind the arm. I am contemplating taking off the cover at the back of the arm - where it attaches to the machine - to see if the problem is there. My gut suspicion is that something is either broken or detached? And I'm not really sure HOW that can happen? Any suggestions? thanks. . .
