Ok, here are some thoughts. Don't know if any of them are good...
What about powering the machine off and letting the OS reload to the amaya?=
How about throwing some grease on the thread feed roller - or inspecting th=
e rollers for issues? Sounds like you have checked most everything else.
Have you tried loading and sewing a different design?
BTW, on polos, I normall run 1 or 2 clicks up on the presser foot. Your mi=
leage may vary ;)
