Hey guys, Im getting two error messages, one is #650 when trying to load in a design, the other is #202 saying there is irregular movement on the y axis and the machine is making a really weird noise when I tried tracing it. Does anyone have any knowledge of this at all...Thanks for the help in advance...Nick

Did you try unplugging it from the wall?...sometimes error codes need to be cleared by killing the main power.Also throughly clean your machine with dry air...alot of the sensors get fuzz built up on them and the static electricity drives them nuts.
And if all else fails google the error messages.

ok well I called tech support and got the machine running but then the bobbin ran out and after replacing it I tried sewing the image again and now needle #1 is locked down and jammed up. I got the Error message #190, something about an over load. I cannot get the needle up. Please tell me I did not break the machine...Thanks...

there is no material in it anymore, I cut it out but now the number 1 needle is jammed. When I turn the machine on it sounds like its jammed

Ok, make sure that there is no material/backing on the needle if you were using a felt type material or sticky back sometimes it gathers on the needle.

Is the needle still in the stitching position? extended?

Look at the back of your work is there a bunch of threads in one certain section?

I don't know. I threw out the shirt I was stitching because it was ruined. As it is now the tip of the needle is stuck in the hole where the bobbin is...

You may need to cut the needle in half in order to work on getting it out.
Take the top half out of the needle holder to get it out of your way.
Then take the needle plate off - or as much off as you can get it off - and start working on clipping and pulling out the threads, shirt and whatever else is jammed in there.
After you have cleared the needle plate area you will need to take the hook assembly off to make sure you don't have threads wrapped around the back side of the hook assembly.
Putting the hook assembly back correctly is very important and will require some patience (cursing is allowed).
Once you have cleared all the threads and other stuff you will, more than likely, need to retime your machine.
Retiming your machine is not as daunting as it sounds but you will need some guidance from tech support if you have never done it before.
It helps if you have three hands and it is definitely easier if you don't wear bifocals.
Stuff like this happens - it will probably happen to you again one day.
Good luck with this and let us know how it turns out.

According to SWF East website..

What is an ERROR 300 (Needle is not aligned over needle plate) and how to clear it.

Reasons and Solutions:

A. Press any needle number other than the one that you are currently using.
NOTE: If you have a compact machine and do not have the new compact machine software

Hello, I was curious to see how you got your issue fixed. I have a 1501c and Im having the exact same issues. It has been a nighmare since we purchased it. Im currently gettingh the Y axis error. It does make a very weids noise and stops. I had a technitian from SWF and he came to our place and told me the issue was one of the plugs. I had to remove it and plug it back. It worked for a little but then stoped. I get the over load error a lot. It seems like the machine doesnt trim right. Please let me know your experience or how you solved the issue. Thank you all in advance.

Are you tracing out your designs before you sew? Using exclude or trace?

While the hoop is in the machine?

It actually happens in the middle of embroidering. It works off and on. At one point it did it when tracing the desing. When I trace I use the the other option called "gauge" (i believe)
