It's the top thread that's driving me nuts now, and my machine only turns both off or on, not individually. I will vacuum and give it another try. Thanks again!
Update on my latest problem! I vacuumed everything but sadly it still doesn't work. I started another block and had to turn off the thread sensor so it would stitch. I found that at every color change, the sensor comes back on so I have to turn it off again. The last discovery, however was the best. I still had the setup window open as I changed threads and saw the sensor turn on. I turned it off and for some unknown reason turned it back on and started the stitch. IT WORKED! The scary thing is, this tells me it is either a faulty sensor or something in the computer programming. Either way, it sounds like something that will be very expensive to have fixed. Bummer!!! Gobbletov everyone.
