Last year, I upgraded machines and went from the horse and buggy era to the space age. It's sooo true how sensitive these newer machines are! This one will stop at the hint of a problem and holler "STOPPED FOR SAFETY REASONS" in huge letters on her little LED screen. I'm thankful she doesn't have a computerized voice or she'd be repeating "Operator Error" whenever something was either impossible or done wrong on my part. The good people at the sewing center warned me nicely about this. Something about whatever will go wrong with my sewing from now on will trace back to a glitch between the back of my chair and the front of the machine.... :roll:
I'm still learning. The machine's almost got me broken in!
