Daniel,


Ed and some others on the list have made some good observations,,,,,,, but I 
believe in one of your postings you mention that you have more than one Amaya. 
If that is correct, I would be inclined to think that it?is a machine issue.

Daniel,
(Tech Speaking)
Remember that thread breaks are not the source of your problem, only the 
symptom.  There are over 30 things that can cause thread breaks or thread frays 
and each area is equally important.  It's also possible for you to have 
multiple 
problems at the same time so when you correct one, the other is still present 
and the symptom stays the same.  Yes, very frustrating I know.
I am curious as to what your tech found, If anything.  It's possible that if 
the 
problems went away when he/she was there, then the problem stems from the 
operator. 
When a tech is dispatched for a service call, we are not paid to give the 
customer hours of training in addition to fixing the machine.  Although, very 
often, I find myself giving the customer free information that I cannot bill 
Melco for, simply to demonstrate that more training is necessary on their part. 
 
Melco does allow us to answer some questions and we are supposed to explain to 
the customer all that was done to the machine.  But remember that initial 
training can easily last 3-5 days and that is only considered basic training.
There is so much more information that is necessary from you for a tech to 
attempt to solve your thread break issue over the phone/Internet and even then 
it may be deemed not possible for what ever the reason. (ex. if your machine 
was 
out of time)
Your tech should be willing to return to your location to verify the machine is 
running as it should but also know that if the machine runs okay for the tech, 
it's only fair that the customer pay for that tech's travel expense for the 
return trip.
You should be able to run the Ampass design on one layer of broad cloth and two 
layers of cut a way backing using Organ brand needles size 75-11 ball point at 
around 1000 to 1200 spm set on Auto Thread feed.  It's not expected to have 
zero 
thread breaks but if you have a reoccuring problem, or if problem patterns show 
themselves, it should be addressed. 
You should be able to set needle position, bobbin tension, presser foot height, 
hoop arm position, garment hooping, and machine lubrication (etc..) correctly.
If you ever begin to experience thread breaks that seem to get out of control, 
be prepared to revert back to this recipe to see what's out of spec.  
I've always found that troubleshooting tricky thread break problems would make 
a 
great "advanced training class".
Enough of my yapping, if you are still awake tonight, I happen be available to 
discuss your thread break troubles before heading off to bed.  Feel free to 
call.
