Hi Ed,
Found 1 of my 15 cm hoops to not be "resting" on the sewing arm. Did some
adjustments to it and it seemed to be better. As far as the tautness after
sewing, it was 4 lines of lettering in a 15 cm hoop, and after sewing it
seemed looser than other items after sewing, but not totally floppy. Since
it was looser that I expected I was thinking that this was causing the
thread breaks, etc. What caused the looseness, that's another question.

Terri,
Here's a thought... When your 15 cm hoop is in the hoop arms on the
machine, does the underside of the inner ring sit on the surface of the
bobbin arm (also called the sewing arm)? It is supposed to ride on the
bobbin arm. If your hoop arms are bent up or your hoop brackets are bent
down (from improper hand placement when hooping), then there's a chance that
with every stitch the presser foot is pushing the fabric down until it rests
on the needle plate and a consistent pushing of the fabric throughout the
design could possibly be what's loosening your original taught hooping.
Although I really doubt it! Just a thought, though.
On the other hand, and depending on how many stitches are in your design,
every time the needle penetrates the fabric and backing, it pushes two
strands of thread into a hole that was not there previously. Do this
several thousand times and the fabric is going to have more mass than when
you originally hooped it. More dense fabric in the same area will make it
seem looser than before you sewed on it.
Does this seem like a viable explanation? I can't see how loose the fabric
is you are describing.

In trying to solve too many fraying thread breaks, I've noticed that after
sewing some amount of stitches (ballpark 1000), the material in the hoop is
no longer taut. When initially hooped the material was taut, in the
"middle" of sewing am noticing the material is no longer taut. The outer
ring has NOT loosened up, even tried a screwdriver to tighten the outer
ring. The material being embroidered is knit, with a fusible poly mesh
backing - so it should be stable. Any thoughts how to stop this.
