[amayausers] Re: Help- Kris' Bad sew quality

 
Ed,
I switched to NEB's about 2 months ago and Sharon is correct.  ZERO lint
build
up and no more frequetn adjustments.

They work very well.

My 2 cents.....bob

Hi Ed, Rod and I still swear by Neb bobbins (plastic sided). We have been
running our machines for over 2 1/2 years with them and have only found lint
in one of the bobbin cases once. There is almost no lint. Just my two cents
worth! Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "E. Orantes"

also like the corners of business cards, post-it notes, deposit slips,

to see if there was a notable difference in the amount of dust or lint that
builds up. Haven't quite had enough experience yet with this to release my
findings. Down the road I will know if I should suggest it or not. Although
Ido think it's an interesting option. Ed Ed &Maralien Orantes E.M. Broidery

[amayausers] Re: Help- Kris' Bad sew quality Kris, I received a copy of the
scanned sew outs you sent to Herb. At first glance, it looks like you are
having some sort of interference in the thread/bobbin path after a certain
length of thread or bobbin. What I mean is that the tensions are changing
butseem to be doing so consistently to form a pattern. I would first suspect
the bobbin and bobbin case. Are you using "Polyester" type bobbin and not
"Astra" type bobbins? Be sure you are inserting the bobbin spool in the back
of the bobbin case so that the bobbin thread comes off the spool in a
clockwise direction. You should also be sure that there is no lint or dust
build up under the tension leaf as well as any lint balls in the small hole
under the tension leaf. Sometimes you can clean out a chunk of lint from
under the tension leaf but there's still a lint ball in the hole that the
bobbin passes through and it just won't come out until you use something
likea pin. I'm not an advocate of using pins or needles to clean out lint
because some folks won't use restraint and can slip and scratch the vital
areas of the bobbin case. But sometimes you just need to use something that
small to "pick" out the lint that's trapped. Lint in the bobbin case can
create two problems: one where it binds the bobbin thread, increasing
tension, and another where the lint lifts the tension leaf slightly whereby
releasing the tension so that there is not enough. These two types of
problems can occur at any point and time while sewing. So if you're
scratching your head saying to yourself, it was running fine for a while and
now I can't sew at all, this could be one of your problems. Be sure that the
bobbin thread runs through the "pigtail spring" and that the spring is not
bent from it's original position or even missing. You should always have an
extra bobbin case to try if you suspect that something is not right with the
one you are using. DO NOT check your bobbin tension with the bobbin thread
inthe "pigtail spring" -if you are doing the "YO- YO" check or "bounce"
check. Only check your bobbin tension with the bobbin thread after it comes
out of the bobbin case and just before you pass it through the "pigtail"
spring. The tension should be at a point where, holding onto the bobbin
thread with one hand, the bobbin case is just about at a point where it
wantsto start to slide down but does not slide at all. Opinions vary on this
subject. But this is how I run with my bobbin tension and I feel better
aboutthe results. With the slight added tension, I may have to increase my
material thickness up a notch or so -however that is easy enough to do. When
checking your bobbin tension, always keep one hand under the bobbin case so
that you don't accidentally drop the case on the floor. This is not good for
the bobbin case at all. Fortunately they are cheap enough to replace if you
dent or scratch it. The other thing I'm thinking is that the thread is not
coming off it's spool on the thread palette smoothly. If your machine is
new,chances are you are using all ARC thread. And if you are using all ARC
thread, chances are you have a spool where the label around the top hole is
torn or choppy. And if the thread tube is too low (not pushed up high
enough)then there's a chance the thread is snagging on the label, or
anythingelse for that matter, and giving added resistance after a certain
length of thread. Be sure to inspect the entire thread path from the top of
the machine to the bottom of the machine as she runs to see if anything
strange presents itself. With experience, you will be able to study the
different areas of the thread path and deduct important information when
problems occur. Let us know if either of these two areas are causing your
problems. If not, we'll keep at it. Good luck, Ed Ed &Maralien Orantes E.M.

had me turn my adjustment counterclockwise all the way to 0, and material
thickness down to 2 for broadcloth. We had the same results. This was before
I made adjustments to the rotary hook. problem with the rotary hook that I
noticed was the needle guard gap seemed non existent. After adjusting it, it
sewed out with the same results. I then rebooted both computer and machine
and had one good sew out, and changed colors and had another bad. Went to
thegood sew out color and had another faulty sew out. Checked adjustments on
rotary hook and am still satisfied with previous adjustments. Thanks for
yourinput. Neil Russell Silva wrote: Presser foot height is also very

ifanyone could give us any ideas on our first Amaya problem. Alot of thread
breaks and to us not the usual running sound. Talked to Melco ,said to run
sample design for thread breaks. Did that and part of the design looks ok,
and then in the middle of it the sew out looks way different no bobbin
showing and thread breaks galore. Any suggestions or do we just schedule a
tech? Anyone know one in the Chicago land area? We only have one machine and
need to get up and running. Kris Nesheim Embroidery Ink. Norridge , IL
