[amayausers] Re: Fraying problem

I'm no expert but does this occur on a specific color thread or needle # or 
on all? Is it everything you sew or just this particular design?  Have you 
tried a different cone of thread? How about your bobbin tension. Try 65/9BP 
needle too, your letters are really small and lower case, maybe it would 
help.
