I am wondering how I can get my other sewing machine to work. It is a quilting machine, a Necchi also. I was using my walking foot and sewing and the bobbin thread got tangled up and the on the computer side there was a E1. So I looked it up and it states that I have to take it into the sewing center which is 5 hours away from my house. Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can continue to sew?

You really are going to have to get the machine to the factory approved facility - most local sewing centres or fabric shops in the UK, US, and Canada will accept and transport sewing machines that require a visit to the factory facility or a specialty trained tech - call around and see if any shop close to you provides this service. They usually charge a standard fee for accepting the machine, over here in the UK it's around £40.
It takes a while for them to get your machine there and back, usually what happens is they transport (or someone picks up) once a week or every other week. Check to be sure, though, because some centres hold onto machines until they have five-ten machines to be transported!
It may be less expensive for you to use a courier like FedEx or UPS.
Sorry, wish I could be of more help. These computerised models are beyond my self-taught repair skills!
