Hello, Joanie has just posted in the Embroidery / How Do I? forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Needle break, only in 1 design. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5931-Needle-break-only-in-1-design Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** I have a purchased design, I'm on my umpteenth test stitch and it keeps breaking a needle, I've changed needles, for instance from needle 10 to needle 12 and it still does it, most always very close to the same spot. It is on the underlay, an embird design, using a 5.5 mighty hoop, 2 layers of heavy cut away (no material). I've spent that last 30 minutes trying to find the head of the needle and thus far no luck. I'm not sure what to do if I can't find the broken head of the needle. I've checked all over the hoop, took off the little metal cover that goes over the bobbin (needle plate). Help, I'm just not sure what to do! Many thanks!
