Just went through this.  I called the IRS and talking with them, decided to
go with code 454390, non store front business  with direct door to door
selling.  My city doesn't allow customers to come to the home, I have to
meet them somewhere else.  Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Just wondering what those of you who work your embroidery magic at home use
on your income tax forms as the category?  None of the categories listed on
C-7 through C-9 seem to fit a home business, much less embroidery.  Any
suggestions?  Thanks in advance for the help.  I know, I'm working a really
tight schedule now since tomorrow is the deadline! Edna  (welcome to my new

Hi All,

I've been having problems with fraying threads on any/all needles.  Thought
it had to do with operator errors (mine).  Tried many things, including
replacing all rollers, all needles, and bobbin case.  And checked rotary
hook for burrs and timing - seemed ok. Things improved but still a problem
here and there.  Never could get a complete sew out without fraying thread.
Then it started getting worse again.  Finally came to my senses and called
Melco.  The following is what they had me do to clean the rotary hook area.
Everything seems to be ok.  (They seemed to think that using adhesive
backing and spray adhesive tends to "mess" up the rotary hook area.)

To clean out the rotary hook area:
Unthread at needle
Raise thread feed roller
Remove bobbin casing
Turn off thread detection in settings
Have machine speed set to at least 1100

Start machine, when it gets up to speed:
spray WD40 soaking bobbin area
Spray air to blow out WD40

Repeat

(Note: may want to have cloth on table to catch excess) 

Stop machine

"Trim Immediate" from keypad
Rethread machine
Close roller
Set thread detection on
Replace bobbin 

On another note he said to keep the pressure foot all the way down on most
everything.  On towels maybe raise it 1-2 notches.
