Subject: [HookedOnEmbroidery] Embroidery tip but long story


This is a little long so feel free to delete. Last spring I
purchased my Ellegante. For 4 months I had so much fun stitching
away, my love is FSL. Then last October 15 my stitching came to a
screeching halt. The beeper went off and the machine locked up. I
shipped it off to the dealer where I purchased the machine as it is a
3 hour drive. They had the machine for several weeks and I got it
back around a month later. They said that the problem was a lot of
thread was wound up deep inside the machine. Well I embroidered for
about 5 hours and it locked up again. While it was gone the first
time I found a wonderful dealer about an hour away, so I took the
machine to him. He looked at the machine and felt that there was a
major problem and suggested returning it to Babylock. The factory
found that it had a bent shaft and had to order a part. Again I got
it back about a month later. I picked up the machine from my
wonderful dealer and had fun all weekend making quilt blocks. Then
the thread broke and the machine wound a lot of thread again before I
could get it stopped. Again the machine came to a screeching halt.
So I took the machine back to him he cleaned out the thread and he
asked one very important question, "Did you say you had to stop the
machine, it did not stop when the thread broke?" I said yes the
machine did not stop on its own. At this time he checked a thread
sensor, it was not working. I was told that this sensor never goes
out. Well Ellie is back home and stitching like a dream.

My point is this, if you ever have your machine keep stitching after
the thread is broken make it a point to tell the repair man. I feel
that this what caused my problem back in October and took 3 different
repairmen fixing my machine and it took one chance statement to find
the real problem.
