  It may be that your arm on that side is not completely tight
  or just a little bent.
  you can gently lift on it and take a little of the rub out.

    Can anyone tell me, when I trace a design, my hoop rubs ever so slightly on 
the left side of the hoop on the plate, is this something to be concerned about 
and if so, how can I correct it?  Thanks

      3.4. How do I set my bobbin tension?
      Melco has found that good quality embroidery can be achieved within a 
range of bobbin tension. What usually works well is "As you gently bounce the 
bobbin case - holding the thread with your hand - it should drop approximately 
2 - 4 inches / 50 - 100 mm " but bobbin tension can be as loose as "when you 
hold onto the bobbin thread and let the bobbin case hang, it should begin a 
slow but steady drop

        From the sounds of it, I might try 5 or so but if it's sewing OK and 
you have
        enough bobbin showing on the back then don't change it.

        I would guess from what you said, after a while of good sewing
        you began to have thread break problems.
        I would check your bobbin, after that many stitches you are probably
        down to the end of the roll and maybe it doesn't with other people
        but we have issues with the bobbin changing tension towards the end.
        I think this is a standard known issue, but the fastest answer is slap
        in a new bobbin and see if things get better, (check tension first)
        if not you can adjust the current one and see if it helps.
        as far as MT there is no correct number, if your bobbin
        tension is different than mine then we maybe using different
        MT to get the same result. it's a combination of the two that creates
        the proper stitch. you can always use the help button next to the 
Material Thickness
        button and it gives you suggestions. click the one that best matches 
what
        you are sewing and click it and your off and running.

        This is from the Amaya tech website; F.A.Q. section

        3.8.2.5. How should I set bobbin tension when sewing on caps?
        In most of the cases you get good results when setting the tension 
loose: "when you hold onto the bobbin thread and let the bobbin case hang, it 
should begin a slow but steady drop."

        Don't forget that you have to take the thread out of the pigtail before 
you check tension.

        Give it a try and see what happens.

          Good evening, 
          I hope no one is upset here, but I am changing the subject to 
material thickness.  I have been using my new Amaya for just one week and am 
not sure I am using the correct number for a light denim shirt with a very thin 
nylon mesh backing.  The design is Zundt lace and could be a bit too dense with 
short stitches.  I set it at 4 but have had lots of breaks throughout the 68 
thousand stitch design.  What's weird is the design was half done before the 
breaks started occuring.  I changed the needle, which helped somewhat.  I guess 
my question is what number would you pick for a light denim shirt.  While I'm 
at it, what number do you pick for a polo or sweatshirt with nylon mesh backing 
and solvy topping?  THanks, newbie Debra from Indiana

            Thanks Ron, 
               I guess I should have explained that it's a polo style sport 
shirt (for a teacher-Math tools sticking out of the pocket, and it has to be 
just right for the compass to hang down on the left side.)  Will the tape trick 
work for this?  As I said, I'm spatially hopeless.  (I teach 9 year olds all 
day...I have an excuse!) I'm only the "Computermaster" around here.   
"Hoopmaster" Bessie will read this in the morning and give it a whirl.
