The hook timing may be right but the hook is glancing off the needle point instead of a minute gap at the scarf (that flat spot on the back of the needle). I'll leave the detailed instructions to the more technically natured techs, but you're gonna have to get into the hook area and do some wrenching so to speak. You may want to talk to a tech and let them walk you thru it. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
