Wendy, I know there is a tech that came and set up our machine in the quad cities area of Iowa...I can try and look up his name in our records but I'm not sure if he would be one to come and troubleshoot or if he's just trained to set up the machines. Let me know if you want his name we should have his number too.

Frank, No one seems to be in my part of the country! I'm wondering where this tech might be coming from? I hope not too far, I heard I pay travel. I've been using ARC, Madeira and RA threads. It happens with them all. Some of the thread is brand new, others a year old. I keep in drawers and plastic boxes when not is use.
