[amayausers] Re: Metallic Thread

Hi David,

I see you have gotten quite a few responses to your question.  Is the
problem solve yet?  I have had great success with metallic on hats using
WACF.  But before I go through the time of explanation.............just =
need
to know if you are still in need of a solution?

Also, are you on an XT or an older version Amaya?

Subject: [amayausers] Metallic Thread


I recently had a job with 8 caps (unstructured), polos, tees, and =
sweats.
All used the same logo.  Parts of the logo were stitched using metallic
thread.  Everything went fine except for the hats.  It took several =
hours to
get the hats done.  There was a thread break every few rows.  It seemed =
to
make no difference whether it was stitching the underlay (density
irrelevent) or the actual fill.  The polos, tees  sweats sewed without
problem using a 75/11BP.  For the unstructured caps I used two layers of
medium tearaway backing.  I started with a 75/11 sharp went up to 80/12
sharp (don't have bigger), changed needles (to new ones and location on =
the
machine), but could not make any difference.  The problem area is not on =
or
near a seam.  I played with the material thickness as well.  The cap was =
on
a WACF.  I have done plenty of caps.  I have done some metallic before.  =
But
this is the first metallic on caps.  Any thoughts on what the problem =
was?
Thanks.
