It's really fussy-not enough or too much and the thread rubs in the bobbin somewhere and 'frays' out on you. Check your 'rotation' angle on the needles. Easy way-look at a needle that NEVER frays and match the rotation of that one. #3-'Center Needle' alignment-your needle 'plate' isn't dead center-off just a half a hair-and the thread rubs against it and shreds. I might think that if ALL your threads are fuzzy-this is where to start, and take it off, use a magnifier and see if there are 'scratches' from bad needle in the hole! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
