If you get a "Color Change Timeout" error message on your MT-1501 embroidery machine, follow these steps to solve the issue:
To begin, make sure your machine is at 100° by manually rotating the degree wheel on the left side of the machine.
(Rotate it 1-2 full times just to be sure)
Now, please confirm whether ALL of the take-up levers are the same height.
(Please make sure your machine is at 100° degrees)
If one of them is popped down you can go ahead and pop it back up manually and the issue should go away.
If one of them is popped up, there's a quick adjustment you can make by following the instructions in this video: Take-Up Lever Adjustment
