I was not sure where to post this....
===========================
Hi Cuties, I had my Brother Innovis 1500D, machine running, stitching out some luggage tags when it decided to stop with a loud churning sound. The error message was something about thread being clogged. My son who is quite handy with electronic fixing, took all of 2 hours to fix the problem and that was mostly because it was the first time opening the machine and learning how to undo the parts.
Once opened we both admired all the wires we saw (Picture 1), my son commented that the machine was so digitally advanced....
Any way we only had to remove the outer casing and not remove the actual wires or moving parts. The thread was stuck in the gears (Picture 2 and 3) which we removed with tweasers and a pipe cleaner. He then also sprayed all moving parts with WD40....
This was the first time we opened my machine so as we undid screws, my son took pictures as he continued. There were three sets of wires to be unpluged so they got special attention as to where they were and how pluged in.
After closing and doing a test I found out that my son forgot to reconnect the automatic threader but it was a very simple fix and quickly done.
IF your machine is no longer under warranty!!
I just thought to let all the Cuties know that if they have handy men around, who "KNOW" what they are doing, don't be afraid to let them look at your machines!!
OH, my son is also my computer genius he he
Please note, a friend of mine repairs machines. WD40 is a water displacement product. It will not lubricate your machine for long. The factory and repair persons use a special grease (more like a petroleum jelly than an oil) to make it not need regular user oiling.
and keep on sewing I would say :-)
