We have a few customers in Australia who make lace with their XT machines without any problems. We supply a lot of bobbin winders with our machines, as 95% of our customers do not use pre-wound bobbins. We change the bobbin case so as they have the backlash spring bobbin case so as to control the tension of the bobbin better. Our customer's are running their machines at 1200 spm for lace without problems and compared to the lace they produce with their domestic machines, they comment that the quality from their AMAYA is better and produced in less time.

I use those bobbins and the Bernina to get the bobbins I need for free-standing lace. The metal bobbins seem to work fine. BTW, try to get a balance between the lower and upper threads. The lace embroidery will look good on both sides. I haven't done it on the Amaya since I first heard this tip, so I'm not quite sure how I would do it. On the home sewing machine, you just don't thread the bobbin thread through the pig-tail. Hope this helps, Mary Mary Buckle Shuffletown Embroidery Charlotte, NC 704-398-1273 -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 7:50 AM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Bobbin Winder This message was posted by Green Eyed Di on AmayaUsers.com.

If so, what brand? I need to do some free standing lace and want to use the same thread for the bobbin that I am using for the top thread.
