Cindy,
How did you go with the designs I edited for you. I did not test them. Hope
they ran OK for you. If you are still having problens try changing the
colours to a needle that is running well.
I am not happy with a few of the needles on my Amaya that break threads. I
swithced the colour to a different needle that works well and and the design
sews perfectly.
I am off to check out the new Happys next week end.

Anand,
Both of these designs came to me from a Screen Printer in the .dst
format(Tajima). I used 75/11 BP needles / medium cutaway backing on both. I
used the suggested acti-feed settings for the materials. The Schippel design
was on a Ping Knit Polo shirt and sewed beautifully except the lettering on
the bottom line. There I would run into the issues I mentioned below. The
Dri-Rite sewed well on a couple of T-shirts and on hats. The rest of the
t-shirts and polo knit shirts I had a dickens of a time with thread breaks.
I did change needles but still used the same size 75/11 that helped some.
Used Arc Poly Thread on the Dri-Rite but Isacord Poly on the Shippel. I am
not very good at editing yet as I am only into this business a month so I
did not want to mess with existing designs that sewed out well when I did a
practice run on them. A couple of suggestions that have come back was to
change to a smaller needle/ thread and increase change the density to 4 or
5.
Thanks for the Help
Cindy Chamberlin

Send it to me Ill have a look at the small lettering for you
Anand
I am wondering what I should look at that is causing my machines multiple
threadbreaks on small lettering. I have a design that sews great until I get
to the small lettering. Then I get threadbreaks that shred the thread and
birdsnests either on top or under the hoop not always on the same letter. I
usually hear a Kachunk sound so I know I am going to find a knot of thread.
I have other designs this has happened with as well. Just looking for clues
on what I might be missing. As I stated the rest of the designs sew fine, so
I know I have good settings. Thanks
