Tammy,
This still appears to be a hook timing issue from your description. Exactly how
did you go about checking the hook timing? Also, the retaining support finger
gap must be set with the supplied guage. This is the support finger tha t holds
the rotary hook basket in place and keeps it from spinning freely.
Is this happening on all needles or just one? How is the needle orientation?
Are you sure the needle(s) is/are installed with the groove to the front side
facing you?
Presserfoot should be all the way down and up 1 or 2 clicks. Where is yours set
at?
In Tools, Settings, Threadfeed, what is the "Auto Lower Limit" set at. I
believe Melco is setting the default to 2 now?
What kind of material are you sewing on and what kind of backing are you using,
hopefully not a tear-a-way?. What size hoop are you using for the tests? How
taut are you hooping the material? Loose hooping will cause this problem...
Lubrication is key...when was the last time you lubed the pinch and threadfeed
rollers, oiled the needlebars, oiled the reciprocator, etc???
Look for the reason for the sudden change, ie...what have you changed from when
it was sewing good and then started going bad...??
