Hello, Rod or Sharon has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of XTS not trimming. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5781-XTS-not-trimming Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** The XTS came out with the newer style ACAT trimmer. This needs to be kept very clean and also kept well oiled so that the parts can slide freely. If the Selector portion, which is the lower moveable selector/knife, gets dry, binds and causes too much friction or debris is allowed to build anywhere in this system under the needleplate, the pushrods, Greenwing referred to, can be bent/bowed/kinked from not being able to travel their full throw. This would then now allow the Selector to do its job in picking up the top and bobbin thread and cutting it when it retracts under the upper knife. First things first.....clean and generously lubricate with oil..
