Yes, Ed this is me. And now for another one of those
questions. I have an XT and
I have been having trouble with the bobbin thread
being engaged at the beginnning of a color change for
a while now. I initially increased my slow stitches
and put it at 8. That seemed to do the trick for a
while. Then I started having trouble again. I
loosened the tension on my bobbin slightly--but not
very much because before I was having trouble with
false bobbin breaks, which if I'm right is due to too
high of MT and/or too loose of bobbin tension. That
seemed to do the trick for a while too. Then tonight
I had more sporadic episodes of the bobbin thread just
not wanting to pick up at all. I decreased my MT just
for the bobbin pick up and than increased it right
away for the sewout when this happened. This seems to
do the trick. But I don't want to constantly or
sporadically be changing the MT back and forth for
each color change. Any ideas of what is happening or
what I am doing wrong???
Also, my bobbin enabled to tell me to replace my
bobbin after
stitches. I don't think this can be right because
when the message pops up I don't think even half my
bobbin thread is gone. Previously I wasn't paying
attention to this message because I didn't want to
waste bobbin thread. But I decided maybe I would have
less trouble if I replace my bobbin before it was all
used up.
Thanks in advance for any help I get.
Susan
