how to fix this: it is the machine telling you that the DECORATIVE STITCH (marked with blue and yellow above the sewing "shaft" and needles etc) needs to be toggled. You must have wandered into a decoratve stitch settings number and left it too long...past 20 for example. SO fix it BY pushing the sliding lever of the blue and yellow bar to the left and RESTART the machine For serger stitches, push it back and restart.
Others will tell you it is the battery or missing light bulb but I think that has to do with other models. This fix works every time for me and I want to save you time... and myself if I forget and google this again he he .,... good luck and blessings
