Got almost completely through block 4 (of 5) on row #3 and ka-bang! I hit the acrylic template AGAIN -- bigger chunk taken out of it and broke the needle!
Put new needle in and went to finish the block - machine won't work -- does NOTHING! I turned it off for about an hour while I gave my back a rest; turned it back on - still NOTHING. Called local dealer, who, of course, is in a meeting so I have to wait for his call back. HOPEFULLY, this is a simple fix. I'm guessing it's the timing but have no idea how to correct it - will need to be talked through it. Kimmy Brunner said it would happen - not IF it will happen, it's WHEN it will happen. I was so sure that I wouldn't be one of those it would happen to, but I was soooo WRONG. Now, I'm too upset/worried to work on something else until I can get my machine (Moe) running again.
NOTE: Dealership called... but has to get back to me about arranging a pick up :(. It's not the timing and I didn't blow a fuse, so he has no idea what's wrong.
