barbm Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Merry, You need to email Dawn and Amy right away with your symptoms, and then call then first thing tomorrow morning. Sounds like a grounding issue - they can walk you through diagnosing exactly where it's happening and get you the proper fix, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Do you have M&M wheels and, if so, do you have the grounding wire attached? If not, I would agree with Barb that this is probably the issue as the same thing was happening to me while Barb was at a Moxie meeting and she added the grounding wire and no more problems.

MERRYG Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thank you guys it morning here in Alaska and im on my way to work will cal as soon as I get there I know that the grounding wire is attached but it may be attached in the wrong place. yes I have the new wheels. I checked all the connections. changed the mushroom heads friom front to back as that is the side we always work from checked the fuse. any connection I could find I checked to make sure it was tight wall plug everything. alll the lights stayed on just stopped stitching so I am in agreement that it must be a grounding issue so will call in about an hour when I get to work. thanks so much for the information you forum is amazing. I dont post often but learn so very much by visiting have had Martha since 2007 and just love the machine. I bought a Pfaff two years ago to use at home with a computer on it and there just isn't any comparison. I like both but my dream would be to haave an apqs at home with a quilt artist on it Id be in heaven. but love the ability of both machines. Thanks you again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnt9999 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Another thing to ck is the power cord. Not the connection, but the cord. Mine had positioned itself with it a bend and was hitting the buttons on the back handles and cutting it off. Drove me crazy until I figured it out.
