Do not spray silicone anywhere above the needle plate, if any gets on the tension rollers you'll have more problems. We run 4 XT's in 10hr shifts. lovecars.com Embroidery =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
