[amayausers] Re: fraying thread

I highly doubt it's you personally! Is this a problem you are having now? I'm 
no expert but this would be a small list of things (gleaned from this user 
group, the Embroidery Line, and past personal problems) I would check if you 
are experiencing frays. 
Design - stitch length, density too many stitches in one small space 
Needle - burrs, is the scarf facing the back, is it the right size for the job
Thread - is it old or is your work space too dry? this will cause breaks too.
This is a place to start but there are tons more users that will give you 
better and more advice.

  Why do threads fray?
  Is it a problem with the needle, the material thickness, the backing, Me???? 
Or all of the above?
