I changed needles and so far it is working. right now it only happened on the one needle, but I have had issues before with this XT all of a sudden breaking needles after it makes an unusual noise. It makes no difference if it is a digitized design or just generic lettering, it will happen on a whim! I have made sure all bobbin areas stay very clean and lubricated thinking before that this is the problem. The last tech that was here told me has the same issue with one if his XT's and has never been able to figure it out. Very frustrating! Thanks for your help! --- On Tue, 1/13/09, Rod or Sharon <springer37@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Rod or Sharon <springer37@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [amayausers.com] Re: Bobbin Problem To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 10:08 AM Darlene, Is this a trimming problem or a sewing problem? The first may be an issue with the cutter and/or selector underneath the needle plate area. Debris or lack of lubrication and/or an out of adjustment issue. The second one may be , bobin tension too tight, too loose, hook timing may be out of adjustment or hoook is damaged, needle orientation out of spec, etc. You have given no information to help make a good or possible diagnois from...such as , happens on all needles, one needle, all designs, just fills, just columns, intermitent problem or 100 percent of time, etc, etc, etc, etc.....
