I'm not sure....Kevin, the melco tech, replaced it and honestly I don't remember what he told me other than I should experience fewer breaks especially with hats and that has definitely been the case. I don't mind caps at all. I'll do only one or two. I did just complete 24 visors with I think 2 breaks (5k stitch each) and one was due to the bobbin thread out (no detector on). So, maybe a call in to Melco and see when the new version came out would let you know whether yours is the new one. Good Luck.
