Any font with variable widths should be attempted with the auto-density
feature turned on. You didn't specify as to the size of the lettering
(height) so I'm assuming your doing small lettering. If you are in fact
running small lettering, a density of 4 may be too low.
Also, if your doing small lettering, you might want to consider changing
your underlay stitch length to something like 15 - 18 pts.
If you say you ran fine before and now something's different, I would
assume your bobbin case is clogged with lint and is reeking havoc on your
thread tensions.
I'd also lay off the spray adhesive as it might be getting into areas
where
it doesn't belong. Spray adhesive is for specialty type work and should not
be used on a daily basis. Of course that all depends on what type of work
you do on a daily basis.
Give it a shot and let us know what happens.

Subject: [amayausers] thread breaks - help
Hi All,
I thought I was getting better at understanding some of this embroidery
stuff. However, I now believe I'm back to square one. I cannot seem to get
a sew out on lettering of less than 2000 stitches (no less than 10 fraying
thread breaks). The thread creates a lump/knot on top or below the
material, frays and breaks. I've changed needles, rollers, threads, needle
#, material thickness, bobbin, bobbin case, oiled and have not made it any
better. What am I forgetting?
Oh, and I sewed this 7 times last week without a problem (and attempted to
sew it in the same way). Here's the details:
Lydian .45 in
Stitch length 20 pt
Connections - closest pt
Stitch type - satin
Pull comp 120%
Density 4
Short stitches off
Primary underlay - center walk 30 pt.
Tie in/tie off - only when necessary
Speed 1100 spm
Material thickness 3-6 tried all of these (last week used 5 successfully)
Lettering "Got Sheep ????"
Thread breaks are not in the same place.
Sewing on Gildan 100% cotton t-shirt using polymesh backing "adhered" with
Stick It spray adhesive.
What can I do to remedy this?
Thanks,
Terri Hoover
