I think I FINALLY figured out at least one of my issues with my 780D---as I sat stitching out a sample for the repairman--I THINK I FINALLY found a knowledgeable person about 1 1/2 hours away---the machine did EVERYTHING---break thread, lose a screw down in the machine (I got it out), change needles, rechange needles, change thread, birds nest, Hubby's beard underneath, loopies on top, built in fonts bearding underneath and looping on top, changing upper tension, put in a different bobbin case (that one repairperson said was the "RIGHT ONE"---that caused the needle to embed down in the bobbin case and set off the alarm), reinsert the one that has the purple dot in it, you name it-----I pulled out on one of the birds nests without cutting the threads and found several pieces of upper thread caught up on the underside of the bobbin case---repeated it several stitches later----looked at it----a tiny nick that I thought was normal----looked at extra wrong bobbin case---it had no nick----put the purple dotted one back in and stitched a few more stitches--NO PROBLEM----so stopped while I was ahead----have a sample for the repair man AND all of the parts of the sample are written down so he can read what I did where!!!!!!!
Ordered a new bobbin case from the not-so-reliable repairperson---if she gets the right one I will try again---if that does not work I will travel 1 1/2 hours (I'm still in a wheelchair from foot reconstruction surgery for 3 more weeks) to the next repairperson who is supposed to be good----he actually works on 8-12 emb machines per day and has a very good reputation----unlike the other lady who had not embroidered anything for 3-4 months---hello to me and duh to me---
I feel so much better after trying to stitch out a 4x4 butterfly for 2 hours and actually getting some evidence put together.....
God bless y'all:):):)

This is just PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
I SELDOM have given up on anything in life.
Maybe once or twice in 46 years of marriage I gave up, but only when it was TOTALLY UNIMPORTANT!!!!
Thanks so much. You made my day. God bless you.

I am unable to walk away right now---am in wheel chair---but I have wheeled away and come back and wheeled away and come back-----I have been doing this for about 4 months---2 repair shops--3 "REPAIR" persons---bound and determined to try again----but it has been again and again and again and again------believe me, in about 6 weeks when I am learning to walk again---I will be able to walk away----I'm just trying be funny----My husband says don't quit my day job because I sure won't make it as a comedian----well, I can't quit my day job because I'm retired-----thank you for brightening my day!!!!God bless you:):)

My original 4x4 a PE 150 is STILL dependable---I like the 780D because it does a 5x7, even though I do more 4x4 than anything else---I just hate to give up on someone or something!!!!Thank you and I pray that God will heal your shoulder COMPLETELY----too many projects to do and sew little time::):):):)
