Hello, DianeN has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Thread Breaks( Not sure if this is proper term). This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5642-Thread-Breaks(-Not-sure-if-this-is-proper-term) Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** ---Quote (Originally by DaemonLofman)--- Could also be the blade that is worn out or broken. happened to me several times.. that thread got broken after "cut" and frontgrabber "breaking thread".. reason was either broken blade. or thread debris stuck around knife. or pushrod jumped out. usually easy fix... ---End Quote--- I am having a similar issue.... thread not cutting so I have a mass of uncut threads on top and bottom. Sometimes the thread is broken as the machine is moved to the next color needle. I have cleaned inside and am not finding any loose threads. I'm wondering if I have a broken blade. So.. if I need a new blade, do you know what part number it is? I'm also scouring around in the help screen to find out how to replace the blade. where can I find this info?? *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
