What is wrong with my machine when this appears on the screen "stepping motor error"?
The stepping motor feeds the material through the foot of the machine.
It appears that you have an issue with this motor.
You can check the machine, oil and clean the machine to see if this helps.

step motor error may mean the embroidery arm is out of position gently push it back home towards the machine and see if this helps. If the mother board is gone, they will not be able to replace it as its so old, but you may be able to get an 8000 or 9000 on ebayso you can still use your discs if you don't want to get a new machine
From what I've read here, it could be one of two things: a blown motherboard or a scratched bobbin case.
Before you do anything else, I'd remove the bobbin case, clean it and the area around it thoroughly (and check it for scratches or dings -- perhaps a needle broke recently?) and then replace it and see if that fixes the error.
If not, unfortunately, I'll bet it's time for a check-up with a repairman. :(
if you ever have this problem, it is because you have had something in the way of the embroidery arm at the back of the machine, so it has not been able to move freely; you'll get a terrible noise as the machine is unable to do what it wants, slips gears or something and then can't bring the arm to its home position. But fear not, i have found if you turn the machine off and gently push the arm back home to touch the machine as it is the start position, when you turn it on, it will work fine and no harm done. just make sure the arm can move freely before you start embroidery!
on the backside of your free arm there is a small lever which can be moved to lower the feed dogs. When you want them back up move the lever the other way.NOTE!! They will not go up until the machine has made one revolution. sewman7
