Hi everyone,
I'm getting ready to leave the country but I'm leaving my machine with a new
embroidered. He has had my Amaya XT for about 2 months. He called me this week
saying the machine has a bunch of false bobbin breaks.
Usually, for me, that's always meant the top tension is too loose. Anyone, went
to his house and sure enough. I tried sewing a design that has a large fill
circle. It did about an eighth of it and then started with the false bobbin
breaks every 10-20 stitches.
It is also making this clacking noise particularly noticable when it does the 4
slow stitches at the beginning. I think it sounds like it's coming from the top
of the machine around the levers or the presser foot; it's hard to tell.
I've oiled the top and bottom of the needle bars. I've done the 2Mil maint with
the 24 drops of oil. I've tried different needles same problem. I've slowed
the machine down to 600spm same problem. I'm sewing on twill with medium
cutaway backing. The fill is not too dense. In fact it is kind of light because
other stitches need to go over it later in the design.
I've never had this problem before. He said he was stitching a design, almost
done, when the problem started. He did have a needle break the previous week
and he could not find the needle tip, but I've cleaned & lubricated the hook
area & trimmer and did not see the tip. He also sewed out some shirts after
that just fine before the problems started. Any suggestions appreciated, please!
Also, if there are any techs that travel near Las Cruces, NM (about 40 minutes
west of El Paso), please let me know. I've had my machine since 2006 and it
could probably use a tech to look it over.
Perhaps an over the phone consultation with a tech might do it? Anyway, I have
some last minute sewing to do before I get on a plane on Sept 5th for Belgium.
And, I would like to leave a working machine. Thanks for your time and help.
Loyda
