HELP!!!!!!!!!!        I'm bbaaaack!!  The saga of my sister-in-laws new machine 
has deepened since I last wrote.  I mentioned last night that her new XT was 
having problems with needle number one constantly breaking it's thread.  Well, 
looks like things have worsened today.  I went down to her home in Bloomington, 
In. and after we turned it on, cleaned and oiled the hook; reset a new 
design,centered the design, checked all the needles, centered and hooped up the 
fabric, set the tension and  hit the start button, it would only go about 5-6 
stitches, just enough to catch the bobbin thread,then stop and show the thread 
break window. Well, the thread wasn't broken, but still tight in the fabric 
with the bobbin thread still attached.  If you hit the start button once again, 
it would continue to do the same thing, again and again. We looked under the 
fabric for any stray threads, checked the bobbin for threads and to see if it 
was threaded properly; tried going to a different needl
 e and still would only go about 5-6 stitches and stop a bit lower down the 
fabric than where it last stitched, which would cause the thread to pull real 
tight.  She has only had the machine since Tuesday and had actually stitched 
out 3-4 big shirt-size designs.  The only thing she had done differently right 
before the problem started was to move the hoop arms to the outer holes so she 
could use the big hoop. I don't know if this could somehow be involved in the 
problem, but she did notice that one of the 2 big flat-head screws on the hoop 
arm had popped off cuz she didn't have it tightened enough.  I sure hope 
someone can help her cuz she can not use her machine at all and she needs to 
get a lot done this week due to a show coming up this weekend.  THANKS!!!  
Debbie  SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!!!
