[amayausers] Re: New OS issues & hoop idea

I noticed the actifeed sticking...tightened up the bobbin and that  
did help. Noticed it kept doing it when I was using magnetic  
bobbins...hmmmmmm, stopped using them, problem solved on light  
fabric. On hats, no difference-also no sticking!
Another post said to rotate the 'round bar' behind the thread on the  
front plate, carefully!
It spins around.
I did notice and mentioned here before that with actifeed running,  
the 'settings' you can read in the little window are way low compared  
to what you would normally set-hats running at 4-8 instead of 15,  
etc. So it is really making a difference! BUT IT WORKS!!!!!!!
Jeff has said he wished they didn't put that window in so you  
couldn't see the settings...but I like it-in case I have to override  
the actifeed-I have a better idea of what MT to start with.
