On Xmas eve my machine stopped - machine overload came up but I was only sewing seersucker fabric using straight st.It turned out that I had a bit of fluff in the bobbin case , cleaned it out & it worked fine.If I had been sewing thick fabric or embroidering I might have thought of this solution straight away.Sewed some towelling the other day & soon as I finished I cleaned out the bobbin case,boy there was a lot of fluff in it ,just to avoid a repeat occurrence next time .

Some of the threads I use for my work sewing create more fluff in the bobbin case than others. I've learned it's really good to de-fluff very very often!

5046That happened to me twice . The first time I was able to turn it off and wait a few minutes. then plug it back in and it rebooted. the second time I was not so lucky. I had to bring it in and they fixed it while I was there. He had to reboot it manually. Wish you luck and I hope it is just rebooting. Suzanne

5046I'm sorry - hope you can get it working again after giving it a rest.

I thought that was Murphy's law -hope Marley(?) doesn't mind me mentioning that!

simple! Cut off power to machine for a few minutes, then restart to reboot the computer. Often, a small "quirk" can cause a malfunction, but be an easy fix! I hope it is nothing major!
