Cp,
Usually when thread is running out from underneath of the red pinch roller, it
is because the roller(s) have become contaminated with oil or grease. Normally
the thread will run off to the left side of the roller and then a birdnest will
result.
When this happens, the suspect rollers, both red pinch and inner threadfeed
should be taken out and washed in warm soapy water. Do not use any alcohol or
solvents on the rollers.
This usually cures the problem.
As far as the Auto Lower Limit goes, back before Auto Acti-feed was available,
the standard material thickness setting for caps was 12 and then you baby sat
the stitching over the center seam for the best results. But, with Auto
Acti-feed and the Lower Limit tool the magic number is dependant on the
type/style of cap, for the most part. If you go too high on the Lower Limit
setting, false thread/bobbin breaks and/or loose loopy looking embroidery may
result.
For flat work, the default setting of 1 for the Lower Limit works just fine,
but it can be dependant on the age of the machine, whether it is an XT or Big
Red and how well the Threadfeed Sensor is working.
