Hi,
Here is what I figured out so far.
I tried sewing the design and stayed away from needle #1 and #8 and it sewed
fine. So I ran 9 of the 16 needles just now with no issues. So it must be
something with #1 and #8. My guess is the yellow rollers or the needle is in
backwards by mistake, but I am too tired to do anymore tonight.
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Make sure the needle plate is centered.
The manual can give you specifics on all the above much better than I =

If it's any consulation, I've had to "correct" all the above problems. =

Hi,
2 hours and still can not get my Amaya to sew more than 3 seconds.
Here are my stats:
=20
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
=20
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. =20
Tried: =20
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.
=20
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
