[amayausers] Re: Help--thread breaks with sticky backing

It's not you or the machine.  It is the sticky backing.  We had a few
hundred backs of hats we were sewing and the needle & the thread got caught
up on the sticky backing and kept backing .  We kept the sticky backing on
the fast frame and cut a whole in it where the emb. was going & we just used
regular backing underneath.  The sticky backing held the hats on the fast
frame.  The backing is a waste of time and money.  Try hooping tear away and
spraying  maderia spray adhesive on the backing to hold down the patch while
you sew.  That works for us all the time.

Have a great day !  Hope that helps.
