SuzyQ2,
I'm so glad your machine's problems were all easily fixable. Before ours broke down, it seemed that it was really easy to override the encoder and then I would get stitches that were too big, especially whenever I made a sharp change in direction. I was ready to practice going slower and more smoothly when everything came to a halt. I hope everything goes good from here on for you. Before ours died, I was having Soooo much fun!
