Ambition 1.5 Problem
I have an Ambition 1.5 and have been doing free-motion quilting. I received a message on the screen that states "motor overload, when this message disappears, resume sewing". The message disappeared, but the handwheel is "locked" . . . it will not move at all, which of course, makes it impossible to sew . . . HELP :)
