Well EEAmayaTech....have to address you as that as you never sign your name.....
As to the Big Reds and the turning them off and back on issue... I will stand on my previous advice with a bit of clarification....If and I repeat if, the machine has color changed and the presser foot stops "between" needles", and hopefully there is not a needlebar down or partially down.....if so, you are sitting in a very precarious position with a needlebar stud hanging on the edge of the reciprocater jaws and if the machine is turned off and back on, there is a very high probability that the needlebar stud will be dislodged from the edge of the reciprocator and fall. Now it will be a needlebar down situation that is much more difficult to remedy... I'll copy and paste from my previous post...
" The problem/danger of just shutting it off, this is for the Big Reds, not the XT's, is that if the needlecase is not lined up with the presser foot and it is not at a very close headup position, when it powers back up, the needlecase will make or try to make a move to it's home position which is needle #9. If the needlebar stud is just hanging on the edge of the reciprocator jaws, it more than likely will cause it to slip out and fall. Now you have just complicated the problem immensely."
Sorry if we do not agree on this, I have experienced this problem too many times with customers and personally witnessed it too many times in the past not to still say turning off and on the machine in a color change error situation as the "first" course of business, is a bad idea and bad advice to give anyone in this situation....
