Debbie -- you have got good responses to your problem. As your machine is new (I think), this might not be the problem, but one other place to look is the tension feed rollers. They should be "clean" and smooth. If they have warn a grove in the roller, this can cause the thread to loose some tension. You m ight check. One tech told me that the feed rollers should be changed every 4 to 6 months. Don't know if this is necessary, but checking never hurts. charlie ----- Original Message ----- From: <PPI01@xxxxxxx> To: <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 3:38 PM Subject: [amayausers] Thread breakage > I am having a reoccurring problem with the thread breaking just above the > needle.
