Not being a big fan of using anything sticky on our machines, I hoop the garment pretty tightly- you can thump it & it won't give, just not ""tight as a drum" tight. One more thing- is the presser-foot height at 1 or 2? If it's higher, this could be interfering as well. I use heavy wieght tear-away. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
