Debbie,
Two ways to determine what "Material Thickness" to use for those folks
without experience.
First,
Always start out high. With a thick jacket like that I start with a
number
like 15 or 20. (Somebody correct me if I'm way off base-I've never sewn a
Carhart jacket before so I'm guessing). After you hit the start button, if
your material thickness is too high, then you will very shortly receive a
false "bobbin break" error. What that means is it's telling you your bobbin
has broken but in all actuality, it's fine. Lower your material thickness
by two digits and start again. Do this until you get to a point at which
the machine sews without any interruptions.
Second,
Once you get your machine sewing, study how the thread "dances" just in
front of the AMAYA name plate on the needle case. If the thread is bouncing
all over the place, chances are your material thickness is too high. If the
thread looks like it's a straight line as it's sewing, it probably too low.
I can't stress enough that it's always better to run your Material
Thickness setting on the higher side as opposed to a lower number. Try to
run your material thickness at the highest possible setting for each fabric
without experiencing any "looping" of thread on the top side of the garment.
There are a lot of customers that don't know very much about this Material
Thickness setting and they leave it on the default setting of "3" for just
about everything they sew. Sure that will work fine for most thin items but
at some point, they will start to have problems and not know why.
Good luck to you.
Ed

Hi, If I may, I have a totally unrelated question regarding a project I will
be undertaking tonight. I have 3 Carhart jackets on which I need to
embroider a farm logo and farm name. They all have heavy fleece linings and
I am concerned about what MT I should use. I figured a sharp 80/12 needle
would be necessary but was not sure on the backing. It will have to be
either a 2oz cutaway or a much lighter no show mesh. Also I didn't plan on
using a topping, but if anyone thinks this would help, I can reconsider.
Thanks for all the help. Debbie
