Hi, What is 6 /4 / 1 and 2 Thanks Anand -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of OnleeJudy@xxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, 20 April 2006 5:00 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Thread feed Hi there. I don't know that there is an "ideal" setting. It would vary from fabric to fabric, and backing to backing, and design to design, and of course everything changes every Tuesday... I had a problem with birdnesting occasionally until I started double-checking the thread was under the roller and in the groove correctly. I stitch on heavy denim at a setting of 6, and lighter denims at 4. Some thin cottons I do on a 1 or 2. HTH, Judy
