This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5973-Amaya-xts-grabber-bar Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** It doesn't seem like the front notches need to be there at all. The back of bar pulls thread against cutter and stores thread. The needle will not come down with bar moved back. Anyone from melco please shed some light on this. I am getting ready to make a replacement that is more user friendly. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
