I looked up on the wbsite and found i had to move a lever now the machine works. I did one run on a bit of material /sandwich and it went from right to left. DH may have put the wires on wrong will check tomorrow. then I did another run went to cook breakfast came back and it had torn the material from one end to the other, not sure what happened did the pattern but basicly punched it out and didn't stitch. so glad it was a test piece and not a real quilt
