Hi again,
I haven't had a chance to try the magnetic bobbin again today because I am
running a big order and didn't want to experiment with it on the shirts, but
I do have another question regarding bobbins and tension. I keep getting a
few spots on my design where the bobbin is showing through. I was running
the machine on auto acti feed and tried tightening the bobbin to see if it
would improve...what is the formula that you use when the bobbin thread
starts to show through on the top. (It only seems to be doing this in a few
dense parts of the design.) Tighten the bobbin, or loosen it?

Bob,
It took awhile to find the right formula, and since I upgraded my AMAYA OS
to 6.08.522, and got the Auto-Acti-feed option, I found I had to tighten the
bobbin tension even more to get the Auto-Acti-feed to work correctly. The
first time I tried it, I wasted a sweatshirt with 50K stitch pattern. Now
that I have found the happy medium, I run it almost exclusively. I run my
machine at 1200 spm (highest set speed). My thread breaks using the tighter
bobbin tension and the Auto-Acti-feed are almost non-existent. I just ran a
53K pattern shirt back on 6 shirts and two jackets, and had zero thread
breaks. I also made a banner with the same pattern, again no thread breaks.
