[amayausers] Re: Thread breakage

Hi Debbie,

We are having the same problem still, even so we have our machines for 
several months now.  Here are the things my husband found out and has fixed for 
the 
most part:  The first thing is, that many ready designs won't run well on just 
every machine.  The stitches are sometimes too tiny and too close together or 
crisscrossing and they kind of rub on each other, causing the frazzles.  The 
solution is to re-digitize the design.  We do our own digitizing and have only 
few ready bought designs, but this happened even on some of our own designs, 
which were created for a different machine.  We are in the process of going 
through all of our designs, reworking them, to fit this fast running machine.

The other thing is the hooping.  If the machine can push the fabric around 
even just a little, it happens that the needle hits the same hole repeatedly, 
thus causing the shredded thread.  Make sure the backing is on as tight as the 
fabric, or better yet, use a little spray glue to temporarily attach the backing
 to the garment.

Sometimes just running the machine a little more slowly can help also.

Best of luck,
Gabi, Screen Antics

is appropriate for the fabric.  Help?
