Stitched about 50k after that. Ran like a dream. This a.m., loaded a new design, and Smokey turned into Hal. LOTS of pops after thread trims. Did the dryer sheet thing on the pinch rollers, and then had needles breaking because of missed trims. Replaced needles, and pops AND missed trims went away. For the techs out there, will aging needles cause pops after trims? =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
