Could it be telling you the design has too many stitches for the machine and when you advance it the machine is happy with that number?

Have no idea, I get that symbol when the thread breaks and needs to be re-threaded you may need to ask your technician. Marian

My old regular sewing machine was purchased new nearly 50 years ago, must weight 40 pounds & takes both hands to carry and is all metal. Have sewn fur, canvas, repaired boat covers, sewn silk and everything in between. It's a workhorse and never breaks. Nothing flashes, stops, wears out. My embroidery machine has plastic parts and weights hardly anything. Something to be said about old cars and sewing machines that can be fixed easily. Let us know what causes this warning.

I think some embroidery machine company needs to pick up on you for a representative to test their machines for longevity, endurance, and issues! You really know how to put them to the max.

I've never heard of this. I agree, check yo to be sure you won't do any damage trying to run your machine.
