Since I just bought a new Amaya, I have LOTS of mini kings left over and
wonder if they fit on this new machine(it's not here yet)!! Also, can
someone tell me how to post a question with this group. I am a member and
have a user name-password, but couldn't find the page to post a question?
THANKS!!

We have been using Melco poly thread that is six years old and it works fine. We also are in a dry climate and it doesn't have a problem. Just a comment.

I do check the thread path, rollers, needles etc. when I have a problem. I always suspect bad thread and will try your test. I live in
a dry climate but we have been getting alot of rain lately. I'm wondering if a change in humidity would cause the rollers and thread to act differently. The thread breaks seemed to be happening on every needle. Wrapping the thread in a wet sponge is interesting. Some of my
thread is at least 6mo old, who knows how old it was when it was shipped. Maybe we should invent a thread humidor.

As you pull it very tight does it break at the knot?Ifnot then it is likely OK. Check your thread rollers. I change myrollersevery 150,000 stitches or when I see wax buildup, a cut or groove.Don'tthrow them away if it is just wax. You can clean them up and use themuntila cut or groove develops. Be sure the needle is seated as high aspossible.degrees.If you sew with a 70/10 or 65/9 needle make sure you check it often for bending. High speed and heavy fabrics bend them faster than a 75/11 or 80/12. Be sure your needles are off set counter clockwise about 5old isDollars to donut holes it is either needles or rollers.

My first look would be needles, second (and this is the big one) howyour thread? Has it become dried out? My wife had a similar problem,Itold her to get a slightly damp sponge and wrap it around the threadconebriefly. This worked like a charm :) Don't ask me why I thought ofdoingforit?

Hello,
I have a machine that is 1.5 years old. It's starting to struggle with thread breaking problems on designs that sewed fine before and sew fine on the other head. It seems to be especially true right now on smaller stitches. I'm wondering if it's time to replace the rotary hook. I remember all the posts on this subject in the past. How do I search8/11/2005that info?
Thanks, Mike
