Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/1/220.html Maybe its called bird nesting, anyway, I am having problems with thread (I tried several needles, several different spools), stiches a few hundred stitches then the thread starts shredding until it breaks or I stop the machine. We have become expert at adjusting the timing, that isnt it. I replaced the needles, bobbin, bobbin case, I've checked the presser foot is just touching, the feed I tried on auto, then manual set at 4. I'm sewing simple lettering on a nylon jacket which I've done before successfully. This started just after I did the 4,000,000 stiches maintainance, which just involved taking off the plate, blowing air on the cutters and oiling several different places. Any ideas what to check next?
