Hi Mark,
Thanks to your troubles, I just bailed myself out of a problem with thread feed 
today. I am doing applique with microvelboa fabrics and was having a lot of 
thread breaks. I set acti-feed to standard (thickness level varied) and, when 
that didn't fix things, I changed the run/fill thread feed to 103 (up from 
100). It made a HUGE difference.
I was hyperventilating in anticipation of the worst "sew" ever, and it turned 
out not so bad after all.
Acti-feed is wonderful when you don't have special circumstances. It's really 
nice to have the flexibility that the Amaya OS gives us, and it's important to 
understand that there is no real perfect "default" setting. The trick is to 
know when you need to pull out the big guns to fix a special problem. I guess 
it's trial and error as much as anything.
I look forward to hearing about how your problem progresses. I know we can find 
a solution for you.
I would love to meet you someday. Do you work for or own Pro Image? Would it be 
OK to come there when I'm in the area?
