QUOTE: ----- Originally posted by Rod or Sharon:
Check bobbin tension... ----- I was having some thread breaks with one thread.  
I checked the bobbin tension and it became unusually tighter than when I last 
adjusted it.  I looked at the bobbin case and found there was all this 
cardboard gunk in the crevices, especially under the tension plate (don't know 
the technical name for it) where the thread passes through before going to the 
pig tail. After cleaning the bobbin case and readjusting the tension, my thread 
breaks reduced dramatically to where I was just getting error messages to 
change the bobbin.

Speaking of the cardboard gunk.....Rod, I know Melco recommends Coats bobbins.  
What are your opinions of using Rod, what are your thoughts on the Magna-Glide 
bobbins.  I read there are mixed opinions of them on this board.  Also, I use 
my Bernina L style metal bobbins wound with Madeira bobbin thread in my Amaya 
XT with no problem.  Any problem with that?  There'd be no cardboard gunk issue.

P.S.---still enjoying "beginner's luck" with Madeira Rayon thread as high as 
1,500 spm......

Thanks,
Ed
