This morning befoe starting, changed 4 needles, oiled the hook, put in new bobbin and was off and running again. First color went down great, second color nohing but trouble. Immediately thought the needle position was wrong so changed it. Went ok for about 10k, then bad again. Went through this 3 more times, then changed bobbin. That didn't help either. Decided to clean the red pinch rollers and the feed roller and grease them ofcourse for that needle. Still didn't help. Finally I thought change thread spool. Amazing No More problem! This happened to me on another color a couple of days ago. Both spools had about 30% of the spool left. I'm wondering if this is the norm or if anyone else has had this problem. These spools are part of the original ones that came with my machine from Melco. That's a lot of thread going to waste on a 5,000 meter spool. The thread kep fraying and wou ld get down to just fuzz before it would break. The machine wouldn't tell me if broke soon enough so I had to keep watching and stop it myself when I noticed the fraying. Very frustrating day. I'm just wondering if the new spools I just got will do the same thing. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
