Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/1/586.html#000004 I experience the same issue today. All of my needles went out of alignment to the left. I think this may have been caused by running over the allowed number of color sequences. The machine basically froze and and so I shut it off and restarted. Upon restart, the needle case came down and broke off needle #1. I ended up recalibrating all of the needles to center. Unfortunately, now I am experiencing a high number of thread breaks and am still researching why. One idea I have is that my presser foot adjustment is all wrong. In reading a post in the :How Do I..." section, it says that for thin materials the presser foot should be all the way down and then for hats, up 1 or 2. This is opposite of the cap training materials which says that the presser foot should be all the way down for hats. Could I have set the machine out of some sort of alignment by running with the presser foot all the way dwon while doing hats? Seems this all started happening when I first did that. Any help is much appreciated. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
