[amayausers] Re: Thread Feed Rollers

Hi John,
We have friends with a Tajima machine and I monitor their list--they have 
their share of problems too.  However, as for consumable parts, they don't 
have rollers like ours because our Amayas "push" the thread out--which is 
why we have the rollers and other brands of machines "pull" the thread like 
sewing machines.  That is why we can sew at the speeds we can.  As a bit of 
information, if any of you came to the commercial machines from the "home" 
embroidery machines like I did, we used to use a product called Sew Ease 
which was a small bottle of lubricant you would run a small line down the 
spool of thread and it kind of "oiled" the thread to help with thread 
breaks.  DO NOT use any product like this on our machines.  It will get on 
the rollers and create problems with the tension our machines need to spit 
that thread out properly. (No, I did not learn from experience :-)
