Hi,
2 hours and still can not get my Amaya to sew more than 3 seconds.
Here are my stats:
Machine: 2 weeks old Amaya XT.
Designs: Has done maybe 4-5 all with thread breaks, bobbin breaks, needle
breaks.
Material: Polo shirt with two layers of backing in 5.25" hoop
Issue:
Tried Needle head #1, sews maybe 5 seconds and thread or bobbin break.
After this happened about 10 times the needle broke. replaced needle. now the
tread just comes out of the needle hole. Does not seem to catch the bobbin.
Tried playing with the bobbin tension, replaced bobbin tread with new bobbin,
and no luck.
Tried needle head #8, same issue, bobbin and thread breaks, then after maybe 8
times the needle broke.
Tried:
Replaced Thread (New ARC thread poly)
Replaced needles (1 and 8) and turn 5 degrees to the right. (75/11 BP in all
slots)
Checked tread path
Put in new bobbin
Cleaned bobbin case
Adjusted bobbin tension, (looser, slightly tighter) instead bobbin until it
clicked and left 2" of bobbin hanging out to the right. Looks like a spider
slowing going down if you hold it in your hand. placed in so it looks like a
#9 and unwinds clockwise.
Adjusted pressure foot (3 up from all the way down, it is just a hair about the
shirt fabric)
Centered needle- removed needle plate, centered and tighted.
Oiled hook and spun.
Blew out the need hook area, checked for thread mess.
ActiFeed set to 5 and also tried 6
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
