This should help stop your fraying and thread breaks. Metallic thread is a little thicker than regular thread which is the reason for the change. I always run the machine a little slower too. BTW - What kind of thread are you running? If you are not running embroidery machine thread, this will cause fraying too. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
